We spent the past day in Bonne Bay, what a spectacular place. We went on a great hike with the kids and collected snails. Michelle and I were hoping to climb Gros Morne (highest mountain in Newfoundland) but it was closed until July for the bunnies to make babies. Probably best because I was still hurting from our hike at Little Port (about 3 miles) to the beach.
Today we left out at 5:30am and are going to motor sail until the sun starts to set. We want to be able to make St. Anthony (top of Newfoundland) tomorrow but it's too dangerous to sail through the night because of the thread of icebergs. We may see some icebergs come the end of the day today but we'll definitely see them tomorrow. From the iceberg chart I pulled last night there are about 13+ just to the west of us and the further north we get there's 53 before we round the point of Newfoundland. We're all keen to see those floating chunks of ice and also want to get some for our cooler and to toast with some Baileys later on. Mmmm. All crew are doing well, we all seem to have our sea legs and don't need to take any seasick meds for a while. Today should reach into the low 50sF with maybe some frost in the morning. Our heating systems are working great, Arctic outside, Caribbean inside!
