We ventured into Fredericton, New Brunswick’s capital city, the next morning. Stopping at the Visitor Center, we were issued a free visitor’s parking pass and provided with maps and suggestions for exploring the city.

Samuel de Champlain and company first arrived at the mouth of the St. John River on the feast day of St. John the Baptist and named the area in his honor. After the influx of ~14,000 British Loyalists who settled in the area in 1783 following the British defeat in the American Revolution, the city was officially established by Royal Charter as Saint John, Canada’s first incorporated city.

Read MoreHi there and welcome to Just A Little Further!
We are David and Marcie Lynn and we've lived aboard our Liberty 458 cutter-rigged sailboat since 2000.
What began as an urge to travel slowly and economically at our own pace ended up an adventure of a lifetime.
Well, here we are ... nearly 90,000 miles under the keel, 5 continents, 5 Great Southern Capes, 36 countries and almost two decades later, still taking one passage at a time and going just a little further.
