Pubnico Harbour

Here it is! The first Lighthouse we got to see along the Lighthouse Route (there are others before this one along the way, but due to time restraints this was the first one we could get off of the highway for to stay on track time wise), the Pubnico Harbour Lighthouse. This was a nice one to go visit, a nice short walk on the Breakwater and it brings you right to it. I must admit, with the foggy conditions and the waves crashing loudly on the side of the breakwater, I was a little more than cautious…. Maybe a wee bit scared (as a non-swimmer, I can say that I am a tad bit scared of open waters).

I liked the paint on this one, red on top, white on the bottom, I liked being able to get right up to this one and touch it. It wasn’t a ‘huge’ lighthouse, but it was big enough. If it weren’t so foggy, I should have been able to see a Power Windmill not too far off in the distance off the left side of the light…. There is a nice photo that shows what I mean over on the Lighthouse Friends website.

I didn't even realize until after I looked through my photos when I got home from our trip just how foggy it actually was when we first arrived at this light, but it was pretty thick as you can see.The first thing you see at the end of the road and all of these Lobster Units (sorry, I have no idea what the technical term is for them, guess I should have maybe learned that while I was in Canada's Lobster Capital...lol)......and since I do also enjoy taking random photos of things outdoors I thought this made for a good photo opportunity (and yes, an attempt by man to move them was made but they didn't budge a single bit).

and lastly before I end this blog post I did see a very special friend of mine.... Sponge Bob!!! lol I would like to say he was Sun bathing in the nude, however in this thick fog I guess maybe he was just bored and playing tricks on the tourists. ;) Stay tuned…. There are a few more blog posts to follow of our South Shore adventure. J

Happy & Safe Travels
