Today we ventured out to Chelton Beach Provincial Park. It is located out past the Confederation Bridge on the south side of the island.

Our first stop was the Seacow Head Lighthouse out near Fernwood.

Our first family photo.

The Seacow Head lighthouse, named for the walrus that use to frequent the waters, was built in 1864. It is one of the oldest lighthouses on the island. It is octagonal shape and was automated in 1959.

Next it was on to Chelton Beach Provincial Park, we arrived just after high tide, so the girls played on the playground for awhile. Here they are enjoying the “recommended for 5-12 years old” play structure.

Can you spot Angela’s foot?

We visited this beach when we were here in 2012, but we came at low tide, by the time we left, it had gone down quite a bit.

The girls finally, kinda of going in the water.

On the way back to the cottage we stopped in Victoria at the seafood store to buy some lobsters for dinner, it was around 3:30pm and they were sold out?? We only came out with a 2lb bag of mussels. Instead we ordered take-out Chinese food in Cornwall.

After dinner we went to a Ceilidh (pronounced kay-lee) in nearby Afton at the Community Centre.

The place was already busy when we got there and the majority of the audience had grey or white hair.

The performers were Alan Betts, Clive Currie, Darlene Bradley, and Wade Murray. The special guests were the step dancing Dalziel sisters who were suppose to be accompanied by a fiddler, but he couldn’t make it. Clive Currie played the fiddle for a couple of songs.

Here is a video of his fiddle playing.

They sang some traditional maritime music, some covers, and some original songs. Here they are singing Heave Away.
