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".

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, Philip & Sharon

Onward to Blue Beach Harbour

Friday, June 14th, 2013 (cont.)

Images from the southwest coast of Newfoundland: 


 
As the hills surrounding Bay Of Islands appear in the distance we steam along a very long low point of land called "Beach Point" or "Long Point" depending which book you read:

 
We duck behind Long Point late in the day in order to take shelter in a tiny harbour called Blue Beach Harbour.  The place was like a ghost town.

 
We barely fit into this harbor which appears to be not much more than a gravel pit dug out of the shore.  There are no services this far out and the only dwellings are small summertime cabins the fishermen have built:
 

 
There were signs that someone had been cutting up driftwood to use in their wood burning stoves:
