Hurricane Day

A visit to the beach after the rain stopped. The salty mist was like fog and the sound was a loud roar. Had to keep cleaning the lens on the camera and wash the car when we got back to town. It was awesome.

Hurricane Earl Coming???????

The effects of the last hurricane to hit Nova Scotia ( Hurricane Juan)




Nova Scotian country side leaving Antigonish

Hurricane Earl is expected to hit Nova Scotia on saturday our travel day to Darmouth. Soooooo we shorten our stay in Cape Breton and head for Lue's sister-in-laws, Noreen's, in Darmouth early. Hurricane Earl can't decide where it is going to make landfall. Yikes!!!!!

Sail Day to North Syndey, Nova Scotia

We leave Newfoundland knowing we have to come back. It has been more than we could have imagined. Each province of OUR CANADA is so different. We have loved it all.

Lark Harbour, Corner Brook

Our last big adventure on THE ROCK before heading for the ferry. It was totally incredible. Arrived in Corner Brook around 1. Took a drive along the Bay of Islands to this awesome spot on the Gulf of St Lawrence. It doesn't get any better than this. We were happy to get our truck back this morning and lucky to have had only one flat tire on the rental. Our ferry sails tomorrow around 6:30 if it is on schedule. It will be after midnight when we arrive at Cape Breton. Could have used two more weeks here. We'll just have to come back.

Bell Island

A 20 min. ferry ride to Bell Island and a visit to a underground iron ore mine. Didn't have the time to explore the island, the home of 2700 people but really enjoyed what we saw.

Education time: Only land attack during WWII was a loading pier for iron ore torpedoed by the Germans. Germans sank two Canadian ships in the harbor with the loss of many lives.

Cape Spear

We are at the furthest east point of Canada. How about that? The wave action is phenomenal. When they say "The roar of the sea"....well this is it.

View from Signal Hill, St John's

Education time. First wireless trans-atlantic communication received here. We had a 360 degree view from here. Unbelievable.
