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

Griquet & St. Lunaire, Newfoundland

Sunday, July 29th, 2012

Let's go exploring.  So we trek the only road towards Griquet and St. Lunaire.  As we leave Camel Island behind we must cross the "tickle" (a very narrow passage of water).

Crab boats and their pots at Griquet Harbour:

The crab season is over, so unless the boat owners have a license for another fishery they remain in port.  Believe me - they make enough on that alone to live on all year.


Looking seaward from Griquet Harbour:


We hiked over the hill to St. Lunaire.  This is the view south from the government wharf in the harbour:

St. Lunaire has a very active fish plant on the wharf and I believe these large fish boats are in from fishing Turbot (another name for Greenland Halibut), or cold water shrimp:



"What's Happening ...."


Old school fish boat:

This is the view of Griquet Harbour as we hike back over the hill:


Tide is out:

By the way - Yes, I have been spelling the word "harbour" the correct way.  We are in Canada now and much of their language shows it's British influence.
