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

Day 2 at Woods Island, Bay of Islands, Newfoundland

Thursday, July 12th, 2012

Today we decided to walk the length of the island, along the exposed southwestern shore.

As we depart the wind is beginning to show itself on the harbour:


The southwest shore of Woods Island:







Wild roses grow like weeds - stunted by their exposure to the elements:


A grand hike indeed --- just don't blow away:


One of the summer resident fishermen tending to his traps now that the lobster season is over:



More wonders of nature:



Here a couple of the summer residents are playing horse-shoes on the bluff.  I suppose the wind made it a little more challenging.



Who can guess what animal left this behind?  Clue:  It is a very large animal with huge horns.


Checking out the terrain for tomorrows walk:


By the time we got back to the harbour things were getting whipped up a bit with the 40 knot winds with gusts to 50.  Evergreen was rocking and rolling at the dock each time a gust would hit.
