Alas I was in PEI this past weekend, and Thus Missed Georges Island… But I went last year.
Here are some Pics:

Laid Up Ship Update
The Shipwatcher Spotted the Maria Desgagnes in the St Lawrence seaway,
Last week, and the Georgia S is currently outbound from anchorage 12 for Point Tupper.
The Sewage Plant
This is a blog about the comings and goings in the harbour – since January this has included raw sewage which is once again being dumped into the harbour since a power interuption caused a failure at the halifax sewage plant, filling it with sludge.
For those who want the latest, I suggest keeping tabs Via Google News
Allow me to add my $0.02 about the situation:
To the Mayor Peter Kelly – Last summer you took credit for the plant cleaning up the harbour, now you must also wear its failure. Do your Job, Read the report, find out what happened and how to prevent it, and most of all, GET IT FIXED, as in Yesterday.
If it takes a year to fix, then either your not working hard enough, or you built a flawed system, and should fire the people responsible, and resign yourself.
Lets hope the Chronicle Herald can get to the bottom of this.
