Mid Labrador Coast

This car ferry sails from Lewisporte, Newfoundland to Goose Bay, Labrador with one stop in Cartwright. From Goose Bay you can drive through the interior of Labrador to Quebec and Ontario.

The public wharf is small and busy but you can tie up at the marine service center or anchor in the harbour.

Rogers Harbour

This tiny cove on the tip of Kikkertavak Island has enough room for two boats to swing.

I got there at dusk to find the entrance almost blocked by a growler. With no other anchoring options before dark I managed to squeeze past the growler to find this wonderful anchorage. Probably not good in a strong NE wind.

This is a beautiful sheltered cove just south of Makkovik.

Keep within 40ft of the starboard side at the narrow entrance and you will not see less than 12 feet depth. The port side is very shallow.

Makkovik

Most of the coastal towns have a roll on roll off ramp like this one. It allows the coastal freighter to load trailers right off the wharf.

From Makkovik north you start to meet more Inuit people.
