Port aux Basques to Rose Blanche

We spent Monday in Port aux Basques tied to the public wharf because of the foul weather. That gave us a chance to walk around a bit, do some laundry, buy some groceries, and chat with the many locals who find their way to the dock to look at the yachts that have come in. We were one of three--a couple from Maine and a couple from Montreal. The Mainers are headed east, like us and the folks from Montreal are heading back. We had a very pleasant, sunny sail today to Rose Blanche and had time for a hike to Harbour Le Cou. The hike took us across the high, rocky hills that afforded us views of bays and islands in the distance as well as meadows and ponds nearby. The people are very friendly as evidenced by a woman we met when asking for directions to the trail. She just drove us to the end so we'd know where we'd come out and then back to the beginning. Oh, and she took us to the liquor store too, so we could get some wine. Tomorrow, we hope to go to Grand Bruit.
