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).

From St. Julien To Croque, Northeast Newfoundland

Sunday, July 14th, 2013 (Post #2)

 
After having explored St. Julien (one of our favorite harbours in Newfoundland) we decided to haul the anchor and move a few miles south to the village of Croque.
 

We were awed by the beauty of the place as we steamed out:
 


 
This is the view south along the shore as we exit St. Julien harbor:

 
It is not long before some White Sided Doplhins decide the swim along with us.  Here in Newfoundland they often keep us company.

 
Whales can be seen everywhere - rolling along as they feed on the Caplin.


As we motor up the fjord to Croque, we pass one of the rarely seen agricultural oriented homesteads along the coast.  This one even had a Newfoundland pony.  The ponies were once common.  They were used to haul wood in the winter and allowed to run free in herds the rest of the year.


 
Late in the day, we turn into the small harbor of the village of Croque.  Although it is connected by a long road to the outside world, the population is still on a decline due to the diminishing fishery.  Consequently it still retains a charm similar to that of an out-port.
