Icebergs are more than just pretty (and pretty awesome) things to look at. When their chunks wash up on shore, we like to collect them, keep them in our freezer, and use them as ice cubes! They’re about as refreshing as it gets, with lots of pop and fizzle when you pour in your drinks. Here, one of our iceberg ice cubes is being used with some good old Screech, but any cool beverage will do!
Like Icebergs?
Then you’ll love the Wonderful World of Whiteway! Thankfully, our cottages, both in Whiteway and Heart’s Delight, are right on the ocean. Meaning, your back window is better than tv, now that bergs are back! You might spot a whale or two, too. And lots of seabirds. There’s nothing like being right water – don’t settle for anything less! And thanks to Stephen Jones for the beautiful photo.
The Icebergs are Coming!
Iceberg season is in full swing! Thanks to our friend and neighbour Albert Legge for this beautiful photo, taken in front of our ocean front cottages in Heart’s Delight. We love being right on the water – the view is always amazing. And the only thing that can make the view better? Icebergs, of course!
Moving Shag Rock
As you know, Shag Rock is quite the tourist attraction, right up there with icebergs. Tourists love icebergs, period! So, in an effort to increase (funny) business, we have decided to make the best of both worlds. Here is a picture of the Canadian Coast Guard’s CCG Ann Harvey towing Shag Rock into Derek Jackson’s Boat Yard in Whiteway. The community is coming together to paint it white. Then we will tow it back to location and tell everyone it is an iceberg. We are taking donations for paint.
We will also soon be holding our second annual Wonderful World of Whiteway Submarine Race. Here is the picture of last year’s winner. It was a photo finish, won by the Alberta Navy!
