I got a text from my son, Arlo, yesterday, "We have a problem. Not a huge problem. The roof hatch blew away."

Being on the north shore of PEI during high winds causes its own set of problems. And this one was fixable

So, I went up last evening, built a new roof hatch and we're covered again

It was a beautiful evening in the harbour too, so took a few pics from the roof view

If anyone sees a roof hatch around, feel free to drop it off to us so we have a spare!

The harbour is changing this season! New breakwater, new restaurant, and Blue Mussel moved to Oyster Bed Bridge

We checked out the progress on the new breakwater yesterday. Those walls would have been great against Fiona!

Hoping we don't have to test them any time soon

Our condolences to the Court family on the loss of Emard. He was a real icon in the Harbour and will be missed by so many

On Monday, March 16, 2026, Emard Fulton Court, of North Rustico Harbour, passed peacefully into the loving arms of his Saviour, at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Charlottetown, aged 102.
