Hi Robert,
It was at Peggy's Cove  many years ago on my first assignment to the East
coast of Canada where I learned my lesson about rogue waves and splashing
salt water in a major soaker. It scared the hell out of me without killing
me, but unfortunately did serious damage to a Leica and Hasselblad.

So I know Peggy's Cove well. ;-) Almost fatally well! :-(
