HOW TO NAVIGATE THIS BLOG:


We enjoy sharing our lifestyle with our family, friends, and others. So COME ON OUT and "let's get on with it". You only have an opportunity to live once. For those of you who do not choose to get away, feel free to travel vicariously via this blog.

This is primarily a blog of photographs, of our travels. Our blogging time is limited by our activities, so we figure a photograph is worth a thousand words. You may click on the photos to enlarge them.

There is only one Post per page. You can access earlier posts by clicking on the link below and to the right, or by going to the "archive" which is found below the current post.

The "Relevant Links" will take you to sites showing our current location, the weather conditions that we are experiencing, some of our favorite ports of call, and information related to our boat. When using the SPOT link, to see where we are, click on "satellite" tab to get a photo of the area (takes a while to load).

If you must have more then you may also follow the links to our "Earlier Blogs".

Enjoy

Bonne Bay to Cow Head, Newfoundland

Today we move on up the west coast of Newfoundland to Cow Head Harbour.


Early morning at Norris Cove - yes it is tourist season - just add water:


Light marking the entrance to Bonne Bay:


This is the coast south of Bonne Bay:


North of Bonne Bay the immediate shoreline tends to be low and flat.  Also, instead of dropping off to great depths, the water remains more shallow for a distance off shore.


Behind the shore plain the mountains rise up abruptly in the distance:


"Evergreen" at Cow Head Harbour:


Old and new styles of lobster pots:


Since the local fishing season is over for a time the harbour is relatively empty.  Some of the boats travel north to Labrador for continued  fishing.


Cow Head Harbour is essentially on an island that is connected to the mainland by a long isthmus:


The world never ceases to amaze - especially when one can find beauty in a drainage ditch:
