Close to Freedom

The boat you see here is called a flat. This one happens to be a double ender because it comes to a point on both ends. The name of the boat is Freedom 55. It is owned by Roger Crooks who operates the Buoy Shop where it now rests but it hasn't always been here. During Hurricane Bill in 2009, it washed across the cove to sit high and dry below Peggy's Cove B&B. Roger was able to return it back to his shore where thousands of people enjoy her beautiful lines and character. The other red boat in the painting is Harbour Mist which is owned by Ainsley Hubley of Indian Harbour. He and his wife are owners of Clifty Cove Motel.
