TO DO LIST TUESDAY Eastern Star Sailing
Water Sprite Bed & Breakfast TO DO LIST TUESDAY featuring Star Charters' Eastern Star daily sailing adventure. The Eastern Star is a fun outing for all ages and you can conveniently climb aboard right from the Lunenburg Harbour located in the UNESCO World Heritage Site - Lunenburg Nova Scotia.
Lunenburg and the surrounding area has so much to see and do that it would take an entire summer try everything. This is just one example of why Lunenburg Nova Scotia should be a destination on your next vacation.

Sailing on the Bluenose II
The Bluenose II schooner is a Canadian icon.
This is the Bluenose II which is a replica of the original Bluenose, both of which were built in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. Lunenburg is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Bluenose II is Canada's sailing ambassador, and in the summer months usually bides its time in Lunenburg at the Maritime Fisheries Museum where you can buy tickets to go on board and go for a sail near Lunenburg (as we did).
The Bluenose II can also be found sometimes on the waterfront in downtown Halifax during the summer.
During the Tallships celebration, the Bluenose II is in the Parade of Sail along with numerous other tallships from around the world.
This is a video that I created from about 25 minutes of raw footage that I shot with my old Sony H2 point and shoot camera. Admittedly, the video quality isn't the best because of the type of the camera, but I do think that this condensed version is worth sharing.
The Bluenose II as you see it here does not exist any more due to wear and tear. It is now being remade in the same shipyard in Lunenburg as the original.
The image of the Bluenose currently graces the Canadian ten cent piece.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Newfoundland and Labrador (, French: Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador; Montagnais: Akamassiss; Newfoundland Irish: Talamh an Éisc agus Labradar) is the most easterly province of Canada. Situated in the country's Atlantic region, it comprises the island of Newfoundland and mainland Labrador to the northwest, with a combined area of 405,212 square kilometres (156,500 sq mi). In 2013, the province's population was estimated at 526,702. About 92% of the province's population lives on the island of Newfoundland (and its neighbouring smaller islands), of whom more than half live on the Avalon Peninsula.
The province is Canada's most linguistically homogeneous, with 97.6% of residents reporting English (Newfoundland English) as their mother tongue in the 2006 census. Historically, Newfoundland was also home to unique varieties of French and Irish, as well as the extinct Beothuk language. In Labrador, the indigenous languages Innu-aimun and Inuktitut are also spoken.
Newfoundland and Labrador's capital and largest city, St. John's, is Canada's 20th-largest census metropolitan area and is home to almost 40 percent of the province's population. St. John's is the seat of government, home to the House of Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador and to the highest court in the jurisdiction, the Newfoundland and Labrador Court of Appeal.
A former colony and then dominion of the United Kingdom, Newfoundland gave up its independence in 1933, following significant economic distress caused by the Great Depression and the aftermath of Newfoundland's participation in World War I. It became the tenth province to enter the Canadian Confederation on March 31, 1949, as Newfoundland. On December 6, 2001, an amendment was made to the Constitution of Canada to change the province's official name to Newfoundland and Labrador.

SUMMARY
=======
Ontario ( (listen); French: [ɔ̃taʁjo]) is one of the 13 provinces and territories of Canada and is located in east-central Canada. It is Canada's most populous province accounting for 38.3 percent of the country's population, and is the second-largest province in total area. Ontario is fourth-largest in total area when the territories of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut are included. It is home to the nation's capital city, Ottawa, and the nation's most populous city, Toronto, which is also Ontario's provincial capital.
Ontario is bordered by the province of Manitoba to the west, Hudson Bay and James Bay to the north, and Quebec to the east and northeast, and to the south by the U.S. states of (from west to east) Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. Almost all of Ontario's 2,700 km (1,678 mi) border with the United States follows inland waterways: from the west at Lake of the Woods, eastward along the major rivers and lakes of the Great Lakes/Saint Lawrence River drainage system. These are the Rainy River, the Pigeon River, Lake Superior, the St. Marys River, Lake Huron, the St. Clair River, Lake St. Clair, the Detroit River, Lake Erie, the Niagara River, Lake Ontario and along the St. Lawrence River from Kingston, Ontario, to the Quebec boundary just east of Cornwall, Ontario. There is only about 1 km (0.6 mi) of land border made up of portages including Height of Land Portage on the Minnesota border.Ontario is sometimes conceptually divided into two regions, Northern Ontario and Southern Ontario. The great majority of Ontario's population and arable land is in the south. In contrast, the larger, northern part of Ontario is sparsely populated with cold winters and heavy forestation.
