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

Ship Cove to Grand Bank, Newfoundland

Sunday, August 19th, 2012

As we left Ship Cove behind we passed this pretty island that had both sheep and goats grazing on it:


The topography changed dramatically as we rounded the tip of the Burin Peninsula:




 
This must be a very special lighthouse since it has a super deluxe helicopter landing pad - normally the pads are the size of a postage stamp:
 

 
A grey rock shoreline yet the beach is made up of very red sand and pebbles - where did that come from:


 
The town of Grand Bank - from the outside:

 
Entering Grand Bank Harbour:
 

 
A taste of the town:




 
This Clearwater Fisheries vessel had been here the last time we visited two years ago.  It's electronics had been totalled when a large wave blew out some of the windows on the bridge deck --- that must have been one heck of a wave.  Now after two + years the very basics have been repaired and it will soon cross the Atlantic to begin a new life.
