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

Lumsden Harbour, Northeast Newfoundland

Thursday, July 25th, 2013

Lumsden Harbour is a veritable man-made fortress guarding the fleet from anything that the north Atlantic can dish out.  As one approaches the opening is barely discernible.  

 
We found a long sandy beach just west of the harbour:

 
The wildflowers were prolific:



"Evergreen" safely tucked behind the wharf:


Although the harbour remains an active fishing harbour, many of the building associated with it date from a previous era:




As we took a walk we came across large pastures that had once corralled wild Newfoundland ponies:






A view of the huge harbour breakwater:

 
The rocky shore east of the harbour:


A close-up of the unusual rocks:


Mother nature's activities are in full swing:


Back at Lumsden Harbour the commercial boats await their crews:
