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

Ireland's Eye Island, Eastern Newfoundland


Monday, July 29th, 2013  (Post #2)

As we motor along the south shore of Ireland's Eye Island (in Trinity Bay) we pass the site of what once was a thriving outport, of the same name.  However, the inhabitants were victim to the resettlement program and now all that remains is a couple of solitary rundown cottages:



 
The entrance of Traytown Harbour is a narrow slot that only becomes visible when one is directly off of it:

 
Looking seaward as we enter Traytown Harbour:

 
Traytown was also a victim of the resettlement program, however a few summer cottages remain:
 



As we entered this isolated, landlocked harbor we were happy to see a familiar cruiser - Ganymede.  We had met them earlier in the summer at Shelburne, Nova Scotia.

 
The inner harbor at Traytown:


Life is good here --- This is by far the largest jelly fish that we have seen this summer:
