The overnight ferry we were to take has been rescheduled……..

Forget about sailing at midnight this evening,  the ships going in both directions will be taking to the seas about 11.45am instead tomorrow morning…..

. So it looks like we’ll be staying another night with the Deer Lake friends but we’ll need to leave at 5.30am to be dockside for the recommended time – seems a better idea than trying to get a bed in Port aux Basque when there will be other travelers trying to do the same thing…….

. Going to be a long day – with an unknown sailing time (could be roughish seas and a head wind) followed by a 6 hour drive down to the valley – might be Sunday morning before we get home lol

Just taking it one minute at a time!  Hoping for slight winds and calm seas!

Theres an old saying ……

It never rains but it pours……….

We are due to take tomorrow nights ferry from Port au Basque back to North Sydney in Nova Scotia and guess what…….

There’s a severe storm coming across from New Brunswick that’s due to make its presence known about then……..

I can’t win can I lol

Will keep you posted

On Fogo Island at the moment (can’t add links for some reason but google to see ) – spent several days in the Deer Lake area – moved on to a little place called Coffee Cove where we stayed the night in a really old1840s ‘cute’ cottage. Spent some time in Twillingate then came over on the ferry yesterday and have spent hours touring around seeing life as it used to be here In little fishing villages,  Visited a spot today that the Flat Earth people reckon is one of the corners of the earth lol

Weather so so rain some days fabulous others – seem to be eating all day long – back to Nfld tomorrow making our way slowly to Rocky Harbour then on to St Barbe for a ferry over to Labrador.

Slow connection so bye for now – will show photos when we get back to Aus.  Cathy
