No, it’s not another bike training post.  I’ll be alternating those with a few posts about our trip to Canada last month.  We went to New Brunswick, as we’ve done a couple of times before (2006 and 2007).  Where we were staying, we were only about 100 yards from the beach, and so we went down to the water to walk a number of times.

Here are some views along that beach.  The water is the Strait of Northumberland, which flows between NB and Prince Edward Island.

The water was cool in some places, and warm in others, and those places seemed to vary on different days.  We also were there at different tide levels.  In most cases, there were a number of sandbars sticking out of the water, and those seemed to be favorite places for building sand fortifications:

Usually there were a number of gulls around:

But also little beach dwellers in the water:

The water left interesting patterns in the sand:
