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

An Unexpected, Sad, Turning Point

Monday, July 8th, 2013 (Post #3) 

Today we were forced to make a very difficult and sad decision.  In view of the fact that there is what locals label as the most ice in over 15 years we decide to give up our quest to explore any more of the shore of Labrador.  Although we are surrounded by some of the best wonders of nature we jointly conclude that we all do not feel it is safe to continue north.  The skipper must admit that it was not without tears in his eyes that he came to this conclusion, as much planning, effort, expense, and expectation went into this trip.
 
So tomorrow we will turn south and return to Newfoundland where we will go east-about the Rock.
 
Below you will see some of the sights that we saw today, that resulted in this decision being made:
