SBP 1: Canada #007
Flight from Mount Pleasant (CCE2) to Clearwater (CDJ4).
-
Arrival at dawn on the coast of New Brunswick. To our right is the Dune de Buctouche which separates the Baie de Bouctouche from the Northumberland Strait.
-
Above Bouctouche River near Saint-Paul. The Estuary can be seen in the far distance where it joins the Baie de Bouctouche.
-
Snowshoe Lake (left), Lower Lake (closer; to the right) and Lake Stream Lake (further away) in Brunswick Parish.
-
Lower Lake and Lake Stream Lake up close. You can see the Lake Stream (just above our right wingtip) connecting both of them.
-
Turning northwest above Salmon River where it joins Salmon Bay, the northern part of Grand Lake (New Brunswick).
-
Boiestown (right) on the Southwest Miramichi River. The smaller river to our left is Taxis River.
Notes:
- I really took a liking to angling my flight plans: It pairs the element of surprise from the single-line flight plans with the ability to cover more ground.
- I decided to cross over from PEI near Boustouche instead of Miramichi. We’ve seen so much coastal areas during the last days, I thought we could use a change of scenery.
- Clearwater Airfield is a pain to land on! In the hills, woods all around and brutal drafts from all around you. Still it was fun.
