Stopping in Pictou & Antigonish (Ep 22) (Oct 12 - Oct 15, 2020)

I stayed in Halifax for almost two weeks from the end of September till the 12-th of October editing videos and then finally on Oct 12, 2020 I headed North.... Drove through Truro (not in this video) It was a national holiday plus Covid 19 situation - everything was closed and the streets were empty, another thing was that this town was not on a coast so I knew ahead of time that yacht club or boats (which is my passion now) I will not encounter, so I did not stick around for too long and continued my way to Pictou. Pictou is a small fishing community on a west side of the province. They say it is also a birth place of Nova Scotia as back in 1773 "Hector" ship brought the first group of settlers (originally there were 189 people onboard, but during the ocean crossing 11 died) from Scotland (Europe) to Nova Scotia, As I made it there the same day, the place was empty as well, there was no activity whatsoever, I strolled up and down the waterfront, checked the "Hector" ship (Hector museum was closed as well), met and spoke to a local resident, enjoyed the sunset and that made my day... I stayed there overnight and next morning I left the place heading further North.... I spent two days in Antigonish, nice little town, mostly visiting local public library as I was falling behind my video editing tasks.... ========================================= ABOUT ME  Back in 2019 I decided I did not want to be a 9 to 5  type guy anymore.  I got fed up with this rat race like routine city life and I got hooked on the idea of sailing and living on a boat full time. But with 0 (zero) expirience that would be difficult to achieve... I took a Transport Canada course and received my first boat license... I watched tons of videos about boats and sailing on youtube and got myself registered with dozen boat related forums and groups on a facebook... In May 2020 I came across a facebook post. Sergey was looking for a crew to bring his boat to the Caribbean. I travelled 1300 km from Montreal to Halifax to join him on his boat. The trip was cancelled two months later for legitimate reasons.  Since I made my way to Nova Scotia I decided to discover this beatiful province before going back to Montreal I have not given up on my dream of sailing. Because of this Corona virus situation in the world It is just put on hold... I will chase my dream sooner or later regardless... ==================================== Ничего вам не продаю.
