They're Back.  This one was just down from my home in Petty Harbour. Wanted to get out and chisel off a few chunks for visitors coming this July. Wicked ice for drinks. Cubes last for a long time. Nice treat too to drink 10,000 year old water. The water was too rough around the berg. If I had another paddler willing to venture out, may have been able to do it. There are bergs now in Bonavista and Twillingate with more on the move.

I like to think we are paddling down the shore when paddling on the south coast of Newfoundland but locals call it "up the shore".....Tony right behind ya......heading up the shore....

Outside Cripple Cove

THIS POST IS OLD IT DID NOT HAPPEN TODAY IT WAS STUCK IN MY DRAFT SO I POSTED IT. BACK ON THE WATER THOUGH SO NEW POSTS COMING SOON. CHEERS.

 

I’m starting this trip post in the middle. WE did about a 20km paddle, depending on who’s GPS you reference, on Saturday from Bauline Newfoundland to Pouch Cove Newfoundland. It was a mix of one or two sun breaks, with mostly RDF, what we like to call here in Newfoundland rain, drizzle, fog.

These images were outside Cripple Cove just before rounding the cape at Cape St. Francis. There is obviously some shoaling here and this area is normally mush more chaotic and turbulent as you would expect any shoal to be especially at a cape. Saturday had calm winds with little swell but still enough water activity to make this little spot an entertainment piece in itself. We pattered around here for about 30 mins or so and headed into Cripple Cove which is rarely accessible because it sits below the cliffs of the cape but was allowing entrance today.

Inside Cripple Cove looks quite innocuous
