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

Behind The Scenes - Trinity, Newfoundland

Sunday, July 28th, 2013

We start the day with a walk inland to the nearest store.  This is just one example of the wonderful hospitality found in the Canadian Maritimes:


As we walked inland we came across this back bay:

 
It was nearly filled with a mussel aquaculture operation:

 
After returning from the store we decided that we had to get on top of Gun Hill (also called Rider Hill) which overlooks the village of Trinity.  As we walk along the path we see a waterfall across the bay: 

 
The hillside had once been a pasture for free range animals.  Here in Newfoundland fences are meant to keep animals out (not in):


Across the bay is Trinity East:

 
The seasons are short up here but there is new growth everywhere:
 
 
The village of Trinity, Newfoundland as seen from the top of Upper Gun Hill:
 


Looking east along the north shore of Trinity Bay:

 
Looking inland from Gun Hill:

 
On Lower Gun Hill, we found some signs with a bit local history:





These images are of the graveyard on Lower Gun Hill.  Although it is still an active graveyard, the older parts of it are totally neglected.





 
These snails seem to thrive in this rather rugged environment:
 
 
Back in Trinity:


 
After two good walks in one day the crew seems happy with life:
