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

A Walk To The Trepassey Battery - Southeast Newfoundland

Sunday, August 18th, 2013

Here you see Evergreen & Skua at the Trepassey public wharf.  There are no fishing boats because there are no open seasons at present.



Colorful old homes are everywhere that you look.  Sadly many of them are abandoned.  Even though the village is connected by road to the outside world, it's population is shrinking due to lack of work for the youth.  



It must be an impressive sight indeed to see sea conditions that would result in this causeway to be covered with water.



 
A local fellow told us that the owner of this two hundred year old house had recently passed away and that the house would probably be torn down if a new owner could not be found.  We were told that the inside was beautiful.

"Ok - I'm very cute and you are supposed to play with me."  A pack of Labrador Retrievers joined us on our walk.
