We’re in Port Aux Basque on the SW point of the island of Newfoundland. THIS is the Newfoundland I expected! Wild and windswept, grey and cosy (inside). This is scenes from Shipping News thank you Annie Proulx. And the shipping news is? Two ferries leave here per day for the 6-7 hour crossing to Nova Scotia. And the news? The two ferries before the one we were due to leave on were cancelled because of high winds. Could be rough sailing so we packed sea sick pills and sick bags - be prepared in case it was a rough crossing. It wasn’t .... phew! We boarded and it was a smooth crossing. We were lucky as they were forecasting a tropical cyclone for the next few days.
Apart from the niggling concern about the ferry crossing to Nova Scotia, it was wonderful - wild, windy and 50 shades of grey.
Next day dawned relatively calm and so beautiful in the early morning sun.
Our ferry arriving - a good sign.
