This if the view of the S.W. Newfoundland coast as we head West from Grand Bruit.
The lighthouse at Rose Blanche was one of the oldest in Newfoundland. It has been reconstructed and is now a museum.
The harbor and coastal town of Rose Blanche:
This skiff belongs to a transplanted Grand Bruit resident who still rents his house (in Grand Bruit) back from the government, for the summer months. Now that the ferry no longer stops at Grand Bruit he uses this skiff to run back and forth.
Life in these coastal towns is totaly geared towards sea related activities.
Rose Blanche harbor and the fisherman's wharf:
"Evergreen" tied to the fishermen's float. Note the fenders on the starboard side. They are put out in case someone must raft up while we are away.
We decided to trek inland to another harbor.
The view along the coast:
At some harbors there is still evidence of lobstering activities. However, lobstering is only allowed for a few months each year.
Back in Rose Blanche we check on Evergreen before we hike to the lighthouse.
This rocky shoreline is littered with the wrecks of many schooners.
This lighthouse had been nearly totally reconstructed.
Rose Blanche:
When we return to Evergreen, with sore feet, she is faithfully waiting to carry us onward.
