TerrNova.jpg (39899 bytes) Terra Nova National Park

This is the harbour at Salton's Brook in Newman Sound. There are showers, laundry and a camp shop nearby. There is also a very interesting interpretation  center.

The park has lots of great anchorages as well.
Greenspond Island

There is now a causeway which connects Greenspond to the mainland. The fishing wharf was quite busy in 1998 but like all public wharves no-one minds if you raft off a fishing boat. Keep away from the section of wharf near the crane because you might get moved if a fishing boat comes in.

iceberg.jpg (38820 bytes) There are icebergs all the way up the east coast of Newfoundland and Labrador. Some get stuck in the deep bays and eventually break up.

This one is particularly impressive in the early morning light.
This is a "growler" and the next size up is called a "bergy bit"

Growlers do not always show up on radar so you have to be careful in fog! They break off icebergs but can  occur  where there are no icebergs in sight.

Night sailing is not recommended in a small sail boat. A piece this size would make a big hole in the hull.
