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

Fogo Island, Northeast Newfoundland (Post #1)

Tuesday, July 23rd, 2013

The kind generosity of the folks of Seldom never ceases to amaze us.  Thank you!  Once again someone was so kind as to loan us their vehicle for the day so that we could explore Fogo Island.  Fogo Island has several very different areas and communities.   In the following photos we visit Shoal Bay, Barr'd Islands, and Joe Batt's Arm.
 
The contrasting colors of the different types of rock is very pretty.


"Do you have your wood in yet?"  Here they still heat with wood --- and real wood it is - not wood pellets.


Crab pots stored ashore in the off season:


Here the old is found along side the new --- not without some conflict --- however, one must adapt to survive.


Fishing stages line the shore in front of the homes:


The week before we were there the residents of Fogo Island had just had the annual dory race across the strait.
