Comments: Hi,
Nice site! I am interested in kayaking around Isle Madam this summer,(2010).  I would be interested in hearing from anyone who might have done this, or is familiar with the waters.
I am primarily interested in the possibility of a portage across the isthmus, across the 206 highway, between Babin Point and Fougeres Point. Is this reasonable, or quite a chore? This would get the trip down to about 50 kms, and my available time will be limited.
Thanks
Larry

Comments: Hello,
My mother, Theres Luessen (Landry) is from Descouse.  My father, Harry W. Luessen, during the month of January, 1945 while serving in the US Navy.  The subchaser he was serving on, hit a major ice storm right outside the Lousiburg harbor.  Luckily, the lobster fisherman rescued the crew.  While ice skating one night, he met my mother and the rest is history.  My brother Lawrence Luessen and I spent many, many summers on that beautiful island.  Memories that we will remember forever. 

My cousins Shiela Savory, Ann McKenna, Roy and Medard Cordeau, Dave and Jerry Landry are only a few of the entire family.

Comments: I enjoyed the photos of West Arichat, Isle Madame. My ancestors were Jean Grey [from Bordeaux, France] and 2nd wife, Marcelline {Meunier] born on Isle Madame. Jean died c.1862 in West Arichat, and Marcelline removed to Gloucester, MA, USA by 1900 and died there in 1901. Their daughter, Anne Marguerite [Grey]DeCoste is my great grandmother. Their other daughter, Bridget [Grey] Mombourquette also moved to Gloucester, and name changed to Burke in USA. I have gleaned all info about DeCoste, Grey, and Meunier from Notre Dame de l'Assomption and the Canadian Census. So was glad to see photos of my ancestors' home island. Thank you!

Comments: I just visited Isle Madame on mothers day weekend.  I feel in love with the place, even though my friend and I didn't get to see all of the island(s).  I've been living in Sydney, Cape breton since just before Christmas, looking at real estate around and saw a place in Petit de Grat.  My friend had the day off and hadn't been there either; so off we went.  It is " a little piece of heaven" .  I did have a question after being there.  We ended up at a cabin at Janvrins Point and I was wondering if you can rent this cabin ??  What an amazing spot.
Thanks , Tim
