Once again it is time to move on. We have decided to make the 80nm jump to Grand Bank, where we will rendezvous with Kerry Deare, and then slowly work our way back along the Southwest coast of Newfoundland.
Today we passed offshore of a stretch called the Fjord Coast of Southwestern Newfoundland. Many of the fjords are miles long and have very narrow inlets.
This is the entrance of the Grey River Fjord. It's inlet is measured in feet and it is said that the GPS chartplotter can be up to .5nm off. To add to the fun there are strong tidal currents at the entrance which can cause rough seas in a wind vs. current situation.
Can you see it yet? Barely. The entrance is offset in order to make it interesting. Not a place to be in the fog.
Moving East along the coast:
Despite the rocky terrain there is water everywhere and waterfalls are common.
The only other sailboat that we saw along the coast:
Next stop - Grand Bank - See you there.
