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

Penny Island with the former trading establishments:

 
Labrador lives up to its reputation for biting flies:

 
View from the top of Tracey Hill:

 
This gives you a good idea of the size of the berg underwater:
 
 
This is the public wharf at Red Bay.  Tomorrow the wind will shift and we will move over to the narrow slot behind it:


Saddle Island - where there are many sites of Basque whaling activities of the 1500's:

 
Ancient whale bones along the shore:


The trading establishment ruins on Penny Island:
