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

Fleur De Lys, Newfoundland

Friday, July 19th, 2013

Fleur De Lys Harbour is a quite and picturesque place which is still home of some active fishing boats.



Let's go for a walk-about:

 
From stages to fish plants, and outboards to offshore vessels, fishing still has its place on this shore:

 
A fairly easy hike gained us some elevation from which we could see our surroundings.  Here we are looking northwest along the shore of the Baie Verte Peninsula, towards the northeast shore:


Looking east towards Cape St. John:

 
Looking south (inland):

 
Evergreen and fishing boats hanging on the government wharf:


 
In between fishing seasons, nets are stored ashore:


It is time for the recreational cod fishery ("food fishery") so each morning and evening the outboards go out to get their 15 cod:
