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

Cow Head to Port Aux Choix, Newfoundland

Tuesday, July 17th, 2012

Now that the sea is as quiet as the harbour, it is time to leave Cow Head behind.  During the two days that we were there we hardly saw a soul at the harbour, although the town on the mainland was quite active.  There were only a few boats remaining in the harbour this time of year.





Pointe Riche Light marks the end of a peninsula in this relatively flat terrain: 



Port Au Choix is a typical small "fishing" town that could be easily missed in this barren landscape:


Looks like a good spot to store traps - what do you think?


"Evergreen" at the government floating dock in Port Aux Choix.  All the government (public) docks are painted yellow.


As you can see this is an active fishing port although most of the boats have gone north to drag for cold water shrimp on the "Banks."


The blue building is the local fish plant where every kind of seafood is processed.  There used to be many more plants but with the decline of the fishery plants seem to be only found in the larger fishing ports.
