I love images of our boats in unusual places. I’ve posted shots of Back Coves from Sydney to Monaco. When most of us think about boating we think of sunny days and warm breezes, but in some places that just doesn’t happen every day and one of those places is Newfoundland in Atlantic Canada. This is a magical place as anyone who has been there knows. I have a sister in law who was born there and plans to retire there with my brother. The people are truly amazing. You don’t have to lock your doors or take the keys out of your car at night. Yes the weather can be harsh but it can also be dazzling and bright. So when I received this exciting image of one of our boats with an iceberg as backdrop I wanted to post it to the blog right away.
Now if my words have tempted you to find out more about Newfoundland you might just want to pick up a book by Canadian author Farley Mowatt entitled “the Boat That Wouldn’t Float” It’s a terrific yarn about boats and the kind hearted people of Newfoundland.
Good for dat chilly night in front of da fire by Jeez!
