Newfoundland

Gaultois doesn’t see very many visiting sailboats and so the townsfolk come to the wharf to visit. Unfortunately, on this visit the weather didn’t allow Morgan’s Cloud to stay long.

A visit to Hermitage to do the laundry became a visit filled with great experiences in an unexpected treasure of a place.

McCallum is another friendly Hermitage Bay village with a quirky custom.

Phyllis and John return to a magic harbour where their cruising life together began.

If you are a cruiser, the health of coastal communities will be of interest. Phyllis has some thoughts.

Sure, listen to local knowledge, and cruising guides can help choose a destination, but sometimes it’s better to go your own way and make up your own mind.

Phyllis shares the latest act of kindness bestowed on her and John by a Newfoundlander.

After recommending the Lewisporte Marina to a number of cruisers looking to leave their boat in Newfoundland over a winter, John and Phyllis finally get a chance to visit Lewisporte themselves…for the second time in John’s case.

Beautiful and remote, Little Bay Islands, Newfoundland, is a gem of an outport harbour. Phyllis writes about the village’s struggle to stay viable and how it resolved.

After 20 years of sailing north toward Newfoundland and on to Labrador, John thought he knew how to get it done…until the weather patterns threw him a curve ball.

Phyllis and John are back out cruising and in one of their favourite parts of the world.
