CYOB INBOX – November 10

Nov 6, 2016

Letters to the editor, rants, complaints and oh yes, unsolicited compliments. They all go straight into the INBOX. We’d love to hear from you at CYonboard@kerrwil.com

We may edit them for length and to take out the really nasty words but we promise to read them all. Bring it on.

 

Hi CYOB

I just want to let you know you’re decision to run the story on the Mulgrave Marine Park has made a lot of people very happy. This summer Mulgrave lost its town status and the locals haven’t had much to cheer about lately but this article has been a big morale booster.

Thanks again

Rob Dunbar, Halifax

Clearing Pillsbury Sound, surrounded by voluptuous emerald mountains as the ferry sliced through royal blue waters, I was struck by the unspoiled ambiance of St. John, the island gliding past our starboard beam and the irresistible charm of a village called Cruz Bay visible from our quarter stern.
