"Part of the Spirit......That Is Harbour Grace"


I had a fun paddle in Harbour Grace today, Sat. Sept. 8th, 2007. This character community has numerous attractions to pass the paddle away. From a grounded coastal airplane, to a grounded boat wreck and busy boat traffic, coastal geology, wild horses, rocky shoals and sparkling waters in between.

"The Kyle"

The Kyle is a grounded wreck in Harbour Grace and is very interesting to paddle around just to see how small you really can be on the water.
I had to get a bow-to-bow shot to get the feeling of what it would be like to have a ship of this size bearing down on you say ....thru the fog....or just other wise. The bow wake alone I'm sure would make for some interesting waters.

"Paperrazzi Paddle"

The sun was very intense for the whole of this paddle and the sun reflecting of the water looked like a thousand camera flashes firing at any given moment. It sure made the waters sparkle and the eyes squint. It was like seeing stars everywhere, the illuminous kind anyhow.

"Stern Rudder"

Harbour Grace was busy this Saturday Sept.8th, 2007. There were sailboats, seadoo's, factory ships, and this boat in the distance which looks like a stern trawler, but isn't. I think it was some sort of supply vessel. Was having a munch at this point of the paddle at Feather Point.

"Grace Geology"


Feather Point offered some interesting rock geology tempered and weathered by time and waves no doubt.

"Horse Ahoy!"


I was surprised to see that Harbour Grace had lots to offer in terms of keeping you busy while paddling including the horses that run free at Feather Point and Haypook.
