Our woodworking studio has been on this corner for almost 3 decades. On our artisan journey we have collected many Maritime pottery works, cycled the roads of the area and kayaked the bay.

Chatted with one of the workers who said that the tide will probably deepen the opening by another four feet. A fabulous improvement to the water flow!! Maybe the channel might come back in a few years. Very pleased to see this job complete!Thanks to everyone who made this http://saltairandwoodmagic.blogspot.com/2009/09/water-flowing-fast.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (woodmagic)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7447534057794237421.post-3636861544481692818Thu, 30 Jul 2009 12:01:00 +00002009-07-30T05:38:05.307-07:00ArtisanPEIloonaturePEI CraftsphotographyviewA few days ago the PEI Department of Highways arrived at the Oyster Bed Bridge beside our Fine Craft Gallery in South Rustico. The normal equipment of trucks, men, signs arrived but then I noticed a blue dot in the distance........ Yes, it was a loo! I am sure it is one of the best views the boys at the department have had from their blue loos!

It was well worth the bike ride.......the light was perfect, the rest of the island was still in "do not disturb"........but as we cycled along the sky did clear for a day at the beach if you were so lucky!

It was a beautiful, relaxing and scenic journey in the early morning. Sunshine all the way.
