Our sailing was at 11 o’clock this morning and we left on time, but to our surprise this sailing took longer than our previous one: 7 hours instead of the 5.5 hrs we thought it would take. The ferry we had this time, the Leif Erikson, was different from the Caribou that had brought us to the island: a bit smaller, and thus not as fast either. Another factor was that she had to work against a head wind and oncoming waves. The sailing was fairly smooth but really windy. Thus did our trip to this wonderful island come to an end. But Newfoundland, save us a spot! We will be back!!!
We had no problems finding a campsite once we got to sunny Nova Scotia though, at a tour company from where daily boat trips are made to some bird islands in the Atlantic to view puffins (the so-called “parrots of the Atlantic”), eagles and seals.
Leo did get a chance to take some last pictures of Newfoundland as we left Port Aux Basques and they can be found here.
