Labraddor

In the photo at the left, Frank (tour bus driver) welcomed me to Labrador. We came to Labrador by ferry from St. Barbe, Newfoundland, and docked at Blanc-Sablon, Quebec. Then we bussed the few kilometers to Anse-au-Claire, Labrador. The weather was not the best, foggy and rainy, but we saw the light house at Amour Point and the museums at Red Bay.
When we returned to St. Barbe, we traveled to St. Anthony to visit the site of a 1,000 year old Viking fishing village. Cousin Jim discovered a leak in a hydraulic cooler on the motor home and went in for repairs. The repairs lasted for about 25 miles of driving and we barely made it back to St. Barbe. Jim made a trip to Corner Brook (215 miles each way) to see if the cooler could be fixed. The answer was no!! A new cooler has been ordered and should arrive in about five days.
In the meantime, the group we were traveling with has moved on to Gander and St. Johns and will take the ferry back to North Sidney, Nova Scotia, on July 27th. We hope to catch a ferry on the 29th.
I have had very limited internet service, but will try to catch you up on the travels over the next week.
Warmest regards, Gus
