Tailwinds Today
Saturday, July 15, 2006
Glenn here, glad to say I just heard from Wendy. She sounds a little tired but says she feels strong and rested after a great night's sleep at the home of Gerty Larkin in Cook's Harbour. Thanks Gerty, for hosting our Wendy!
Wendy spent 7 1/2 hours in her boat today, taking advantage of the oh-so-welcome tailwinds. After spending the day riding "playful" 1-1.5 meter swells, the beach at Green Island Cove is her campsite this evening, and she reports that the village is almost deserted due to a local wedding celebration. The Labrador coastline is still visible in the distance, but much hazier today.
Green Island Cove marks the beginning of Newfoundland Route 430, which follows the shoreline and will provide Wendy with an extra margin of safety and comfort as she descends the Western shore en route to her expedition's finish at Isle aux Morts.
Go Wendy!
