Newfoundlander's are wonderful!!! The friendliness and hospitality of the folks of the Canadian Maritimes never ceases to amaze us. A fellow working a shift at the building supply store next to the marina was more than happy to loan us his car while he was at work, so that we could explore the island. So first we head for the town of Tilting. These are a few photos of the shore along the way:
A few of the local Tilting residents:
Tilting is a settlement that was established by Irish fishermen (and their families) in the early 1700s:
The residents of Tilting take great pride in maintaining their village as well as their Irish identity:
Of course we had to check out wharf at the harbour. But unfortunately it has a very tricky entrance and is most likely too shallow for our vessel.
Off we go to the village of Fogo, at the north end of the island. Mother nature required a pit stop along the way and we could not help but notice her beauty:
