Almost MeatCove...we were at the end of a pier in Bay St-Lawrence. Here a pic for you...you will certainly remember the coastline.

Here is the memorial for Swissair flight 111 near Peggy"s cove

"On 2 September 1998 the aircraft used for the flight, registered HB-IWF, crashed into the Atlantic Ocean southwest of Halifax International Airport at the entrance to St. Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia. The crash site was 8 kilometres (5 mi) from shore, roughly equidistant between the tiny fishing and tourist communities of Peggys Cove and Bayswater. All 229 people on board died.[1] It was the highest-ever death toll of any aviation accident involving a McDonnell Douglas MD-11.
The resulting investigation by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) took over four years and cost CAD 57 million (at that time approximately USD 38 million).[2] The organization concluded that flammable material used in the aircraft's structure allowed a fire to spread beyond the control of the crew, resulting in the loss of control and crash of the aircraft".....wiki

Missed you guys by about three weeks , looks like your having a great first trip. The weather looks to be considerably better for ya'll. Yes I believe you were about 7 or 8 miles from Meat Cove.

Peggy's Cove the most photographed place in Canada as I understand.

NS is a biker's heaven and a photographer's Mecca.

A great spoiler for what you say is your first long run.

Thanks for the complement. Even a blind squirrel can fine a nut sometimes. lol

As for the F800, it was flawless, she really like the feel of it, the low seat setting, the weight, the sound, the look and also the functionality. One dislike is the lower seat can become very hot at low speed with the engine heat so near.

Be safe and a lot of sunshine for your big trip!

thanks dude !!

low seat was the key word if the wife ever finishes her course she likes low seats and she likes the looks of the F800 (so do i)

I'm just funnin' with you. If you've got it--spend it. the economy can certainly use a real infusion of real money.

Besides, those ladies are entitled to a hot shower and wine and cheese at the end of a hard days riding. I showed the picture to my wife and she said, "so what your problem".
