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

Francois, Newfoundland

Tuesday, August 21st, 2012

The outport of Francois.  Note the boardwalks (their streets) and the stream above the town which feeds the lake which is their water source.


 
Many of the residents still actively fish.  Soon aquaculture will be coming to the area also.


This lobster boat has been hauled out for painting now that the season is over.

 
This is a typical Newfoundland garden:

 
View of the entrance of the harbour:
 

 
Nearly everyone hunts in order to supplement their food supply:
 

 
Blueberries everywhere:

 
Stairway on hill overlooking the harbour:


On top of the world:

Not all the boats were for fishing:

 
Painting nearly done:

    My partner grew up in Francois. I love to visit - no one can find me while I'm there.
