Sailing Sailing Over the Ocean Blue

 We left North Sydney on the Marine Atlantic heading to Newfoundland.  We were at sea for 16 hours but fortunate enough to have booked a room to sleep. This was quite the experience on this huge ferry carrying over 300 vehicles. Arriving at Argentia around 11:00 am we headed to the Cape Spear Lighthouse which is North America’s eastern most point. We toured the inside of the lighthouse and took in some breathtaking views as well. 

Then off to Signal Hill National Historic site. This site celebrates St John’s rich communication and military history amidst spectacular city and ocean views. You think you’ve seen such beautiful sites until you visit the next one. These never seem to grow old. 

Our last stop of the day was to Quidi Vidi Village Plantation a picturesque wharf in an iconic fishing community. This was similar to Granville Island in Vancouver. Here we relaxed and enjoyed a pint or two on the deck. 

Tonight maybe interesting as St John’s is expecting a visit from Hurricane Larry. That’s an experience we didn’t really expect to have however will take all necessary precautions.
