Hike up Cap Dauphin with Nancy to see the Brion Island lighthouse in the distance. Forgot to stop the watch until we were driving away, and I don't know how to trim the track.

Hiking on the Collines de Mademoiselle with Nancy, to get a view of the southern part of the archipelago and see the Entry Island lighthouse, though we got a better view from the beach later on when we took a stroll out for a picnic.

Also saw three more lighthouses, for a total of five for the day, and I went most of the way back up Cap Dauphin shortly before midnight in hopes of spotting the light on Bird Rock, but I wasn't able to see anything that wasn't most likely my imagination.

Dinner included a story called "Leo du ciel" told between courses by Nicolas Landry. Nancy and I were given seats right up front, and made sure to listen intently and laugh whenever there was a punchline, even though we barely had any idea what any of it meant, since it was in (probably regional colloquial) French.

On a rather stormy day, we got go visit the lantern rooms of two lighthouses, and then spotted two others at a distance on the very tempestuous ferry ride to the Iles-de-la-Madeleine.

Into a stiff headwind out to look at the St. Peter's Harbour (former) Light. (And back.) Four more lighthouses today, I think.

Around the trails at Greenwich. Nancy walks pretty fast.

Seven more lighthouses, none of which required much hiking that I recall (one brief stroll, I guess, about 2 km round trip, to the Cape Tryon Light around dusk).

Stroll from the motel in Summerside down to the water and back with Nancy.

Black Marsh Trail with Nancy. Saw something like 11 lighthouses today (I've lost count), and tonight we're sleeping in one.

Driving the whole way up to PEI (wiith Nancy). Long day behind the wheel. I think we saw five lighthouses on the way.
