Will get rid of the smoke smell by washing down some lobster with Keith's beer.
Will be driving through Oromocto and hope to spill a few beers with Wild Bill....
The unfortunate part is I will miss seeing Phil at the Weare military show..... first time in 7 years...
Alex.... if you have his number send me an email at home.

Bob..
I don't have his phone number but Brian looked after it..
There are lots of places to photograph the tall ships..From the Dartmouth side looking at Halifax ..go to the Ferry terminal ..lots of parking and can see all of the Halifax waterfront from there '
It is right down town Dartmouth..From Halifax..go to the Historic properties and take a table at Saltys bar and grill..an out door restaurant that over hangs the harbour and has the best view of the Dartmouth side..It is right on Water Street in Halifax..
I would go and guide you but have an appointment with a new grand (?????) in Indianopolis the end of July..
Was going East(Home) until this popped up..You will have a blast..for any into give me a call.
Enjoy..
For the best place to stay in town try the Lord Nelson..You are right in the midst of things..across from the public Gardens..three blocks from the waterfront..all the shops and restaurants withing five blocks both ways..ten minute walk from Citadel Hill..One block from Pete's Fruitique..(On Dresden Row..where you can pick up deli lunches and take them with you to the public gardens..or to the waterfront..or Up the Citadel Hill or any other place..Don't forget to jump in the car and take in Point pleasant park..a great place to shoot ships is right off the break water from to the entrance of the harbour..
The tall ships will assemble in Bedford Basin..then sail through the narrows and down Halifax harbour..past McNabs Island..Point pleasant Park and out the harbour to the Atlantic..You want to be on the Breakwater at Point pleasant park when the ships leave..Get there early..
Have fun..
Been the...done that...
