Friday and Saturday — Cruising to Newfoundland

Thursday night we had a casual dinner in the Terrace Buffet.  After dinner we found Len and Dave at another table and joined them for some conversation and drinks.  Len is the guy who graduated from Tufts.

Friday was a day spent cruising the Saint Lawrence Seaway.  We passed the end of the Gaspe Peninsula into the Gulf of St Lawrence, and now only Newfoundland stands between us and the open Atlantic Ocean.  Early on Saturday we docked in Corner Brook on the western side of Newfoundland.

On disembarking we walked into a town, a pleasant 15 minute walk.  The skies were grey and the temperatures were in the forties, but there was no rain.  In town we walked two recommended walking trails, the Three Bear Mountain Trail and the Glynnmill Inn Pond Trail.   After that we walked down Broadway and chatted with a couple of locals (who seemed to be waiting for the bars to open for getting drunk).  We visited the town War Memorial, the Museum, and the Anglican Church.

Then it was back to the boat for lunch and some hangover recovery.

  1. How many days in the Atlantic? Maybe Kris will be finished with the chairs by the time you hit land, AHOY MATE!

    Sent you email with picture of the first chair, and a rest she was taking.
