Sable Island and the Gully Marine Protected Area (Booked. Waiting list so please inquire)
June 9 - 17, 2012: 9 days | View Brochure
Exiting tour leaving Halifax the morning of June 9, visiting Sable Island and then steaming a further
40k further towards the continental shelf and the Gully MPA where we shall be for a couple of days.
This is the home of the endangered Bottlenose Whales of which there are about 160 individuals. They are
very friendly and come to the boat, swim on their backs, look up at us. This will be a remarkable experience
and we may also see Humpback, Sowerbys, and Pilot Whales. We plan to land on Sable Island and explore the
island under the guidance of either or both, Zoe Lukas and Prof Ian MacLaren. In June of 2012 it will
hopefully be under the auspices of Parks Canada. Here we will see many horses, seals, birds and whales.
We will head northeast towards Saint Pierre at the end of the tour, chumming on the way and will slow to
see puffins as we get closer to the French Territory. We have our flight from Saint Pierre included in
the cost and it leaves for Halifax on June 18th. Please phone or email for a brochure and information.

Tour to Britain: Slow Food in Dorset

This is a tour we are still working on. We will visit various local food productions: cheese making, wine making, mushroom collecting,
foraging experts and many, many others. We will have a local cook produce meals every night and will have a day or two in which we will
have cooking lessons using local ingredients.We will be accompanied by a professional chef who will share her considerable experience.
The tour is being designed to limit the time we spend in a vehicle and so it will be limited to the beautiful lush countryside of Dorset.
This is an utterly unique trip in which you will not be dropped off for "free time," unless of course you request it!
