The Barrett East Coast Amateur

I spent a few days this past week at a jewel of the Maritimes, the Fairmont Algonquin in St. Andrews, New Brunswick, attending preliminary festivities for the Barrett East Coast Amateur golf tournament.

I won’t dwell on the second hole of the Algonquin, where I sank a 130 yard approach shot for my first eagle, but I can tell you that one stroke will help burn the trip into my memory. I can also recommend a stop at Ossie’s seafood stand on Highway 1 between St. George and St. Andrews.

I have mentioned in the past that I act as an advisor to Barrett Xplore (BXI). BXI has focussed on serving rural Canada:

Our vision is simple — more for rural Canada: more choice, competition, and availability of broadband access, applications, and accessories.

BXI is continuing to succeed in delivering advanced network services without government assistance.

It was great to have a chance to spend some time with many of the company principals as well as their suppliers and associates.
