Ship Cove & Onion Island,Newfoundland
This harbour / safe anchorage is at the top of the North west coast of Newfoundland, on the Belle isles Strait. Once a major area for whaling. As we approached the harbour a humpback whale broached about 1 mile away from us...............holy polony, i've never seen anything like it, i got quite emotional, it was just staggering.
It proceeded to do an an incredible sequence of rolls, side broaches, flipper slapping and more full broaches...............and yes, i never got chance to get the camera in time !!!!! DOH !!!
I'm sure we'll see plenty more of this most magnificent beast
Ship Cove
Onion Island
We actually saw our first iceberg in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, on the Quebec side................we did'nt realise it was a berg at first...................we thought it was a ship on the radar !!!!
We soon got a glimpse of some more as we left Ship Cove.........we reckon these are just off the coast at L'Anse aux Meadows. The historic site only recently discovered as an ancient Viking settlement.
Onto St. Anthony to refuel and take on provisions.
