We're having the same weather on both our islands today! Different oceans though. Did you know they smell different? I always remember taking the ferry from Cape Breton Island to Newfoundland, and the smell of the brine, and fish and I don't know... icebergs and rain perhaps. Doesn't smell like that here. Those memories are from 45 years ago but they are still fresh in my mind. I honestly think there were so many more fish in the sea in those days that the air smelled different. For all I can tell, the Pacific smells no different than Lake Ontario. This was a big surprise to me when we moved here.

I’ve never been to the Pacific Ocean but love the smell of the Atlantic...especially the seaweed. I lived near Lake Ontario years ago and swan in it. Not a strong smell that I can recall. Yes the fish have definitely declined over the years...so much commercial fishing.
