Sept 19/20 - Grand Manan

Our trip to Grand Manan went very well. We had 13 paddlers in our group.
A few Humpbacks put on a show for us on the way over to the island. They were rolling and breaching for more than 15 minutes.
We were not able to kayak on Friday or Saturday because of the high winds, so we toured the island and hiked the Hole in the Wall Saturday. Eleven of us paddled 8K on Sunday morning (Sept. 20th), from Whale Cove to the Lighthouse.  We also saw lots of seals and eagles.
