Love The Clouds At Setting Day and Cape Bear

avatar

Yesterday was Setting Day for the Lobster Fishermen. Setting Day is the first day of the lobster season here in my area of Eastern P.E.I. This means the fishermen go out early in the morning and set their traps in their designated area of the water.

Lobster boats at the Montague Harbour with dark clouds above.






A visit to Cape Bear lighthouse a few weekends ago.





Overlooking the water at Cape Bear with fluffy white clouds.











Interesting historic fact about Cape Bear concerning the sinking of the Titanic.

Cape Bear lighthouse had an adjacent Marconi Telegraph Station manned by a Mr. Bartlett.

On the night of April 14, 1912, Bartlett received the first distress signal in Canada from the Titanic as it was sinking off the coast of Newfoundland. A similar station at Cape Race in Newfoundland was in communication with the Titanic, but at that time Newfoundland was not a part of Canada.

Looks like a lovely area, not unlike our own small town on the "opposite" coast in Washington state. Here it's Dungeness crab people are out setting pots for.

Love the cloudscapes, too!

I remember your Setting Day posts from the past years - the fishermen must be happy that the Lobster season has begun.

Interesting information about the Titanic.

I love the last photo most - the sea looks cold but calm and the clouds above look great 😊

Yes, all the lobster eating lovers are happy to see fresh catch coming in.

It was cool weather the day we went to Cape Bear. That lighthouse had to be moved back from the shore as the soil was eroding.

Thanks dear Hannes for the ecency boost and everything.

Have a great Frigg’s Day and coming weekend. 😊

What a lovely post, beautiful clouds, beautiful pictures. You may be the best PR representative for P.E.I. It seems irresistible.

Have a wonderful weekend, @redheadpei
