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

Last Day at Woods Island, Bay of Islands, Newfoundland

Friday, July 13th, 2012

Yesterday it blew so hard (up to 50 knots) that we decided to stay put, let the seas settle a bit, and enjoy another walk on beautiful Woods Island.  We will do a walk around the harbour and out to the northern point.

Wild Iris: 


Looking out the mouth of the harbour:


An island road through the forest.  In all "out-ports" (places not connected to the mainland by road) 4-wheelers are the primary mode of transportation.


"Evergreen" can be seen at the dock on the far side of the harbour:



Summer cottages:


Dory boats are pulled up these wooden frameworks to get them out of the water:


Looking out towards Lark Harbour (said to be the windiest place in North America):


Bay of Islands - an appropriate name:


With lobster season over, a fisherman stores all his pots on the shore near his island cottage:

"Hickey's Landing," one of the many summer cottages on the island.  Note the whale vertebra on the porch:


Does anyone know the make, model, or year?  I bet this vehicle has seen some interesting times:

    Looks to me to be a Ford of the 1946-48 vintage.
