In the early morning light we must sadly leave Grand Bruit behind:
The topography of the coast is much lower as we travel west:
We had to assume that this was the ferry supplying the out-ports of this section of the southwest shore:
Looking eastward, over our shoulder:
This is the restored Rose Blanche Lighthouse. We recently read that the non-profit organization in charge of this project could not financially continue to maintain the beautiful stone structure and so it was no longer open to the public.
Here we are approaching Channel Head/Port Aux Basques, which is a busy ferry and fishing harbor, and also a jumping off point for Nova Scotia.
Traffic Services maintains control of all traffic in and out of this tight harbor much like an airport. From their perch overlooking the harbor (the building on the left) they keep everyone separated as the ferries are on tight schedules and cannot easily yield to smaller vessels.
