Wonderfully calm when we crossed from St Barbe NL to Red Bay Labrador, many boats fishing capelin, puffins and dolphins also fishing capelin. The previous days sail up from Port Saunders was opposite with winds to 30 knots and some exciting 3 meter waves crossing Ingornichoix Bay. We are docked here in Red Bay at their town dock, several fishing boats for company the first night and several local people stopping to visit as well as a nice couple from Massachusetts.
We hiked the lookout and whale bone trails yesterday as well as visiting Penny Island by dinghy. There are two Basque whaling schooner wrecks found in the harbour and today we’ll visit the museum describing them and that fishery. Tomorrow we’ll sail north 60 miles to Battle Harbour then south towards St Anthony, light SW winds are forecast for several days.
