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

Grand Bank to McCallum, Newfoundland

Monday, August 20th, 2012

Today we move from Grand Bank to the outport of McCallum.  Thanks to an early start we were able to observe a beautiful sunrise.  It is amazing how much shorter the days are becoming.  Only a few weeks ago it was light 4:00 am - 10:00 pm.

 
Patchy fog clings to the islands:


 
As we approach McCallum we note the new type of red rock:

 
McCallum finds itself on the "Fjord Coast of Newfoundland.  Unfortunately the photos of the fjords on the northeast coast were lost so now, and in subsequent posts you will have a new opportunity to see what they are like:


Despite being nearly solid rock the hillsides are very lush:

 
Legend has it that this is the profile of Miss McCallum in repose (the imagination of lonely fishermen and sailors can run wild):
 
 



 
Finally, there is McCallum peeking out from it's protected cove:
