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

Englee To Fleur De Lys, Northeast Newfoundland

Thursday, July 18th, 2013

Today we leave the town of Englee behind:

 
Now, here is something that is hard to believe:  These folks are harvesting ice from an iceberg, to be used in the making of "Iceberg Vodka".  We find it rather amazing that anyone thought of the idea, and also that people are willing to pay the price for such "premium" vodka.  They also bottle the water for sale, in addition to selling it to some beer breweries.  We met one of the fellows from the ship and he told us they travel the coasts of both Newfoundland and Labrador in search of the ancient ice.
 




  
The west shore of White Bay:


Once again the White Sided Dolphins found us and jumped for joy as they swam along with us as we cruised along the shore of White Bay:



A frontal system approaching from the east, a rather unusual direction:


Approaching the Baie Verte peninsula:
 


Humpback whales feeding on Caplin.  They rise to the surface rapidly in order to force the mouthfuls of fish down their throats.
 

 
Approaching Fleur De Lys Harbour:

 
The winds calm as the nearly full moon comes up over the harbor, as the sun sets:

 
Evening sights at Fleur De Lys Harbour:





Dried Caplin ready for the grill:
