A Good Breeze
Wednesday, August 02, 2006
"A good breeze", that's what Lee Sheppard called the gale that blew through Lark Harbour this morning. As a result, with whirly gigs spinning at warp speed, Janice and Lee Sheppard and I went for a visit to Cornerbrook. Winds funneled down the Humber Arm, but I replaced my "lost" memory card for my Pentax Optio WPI digital camera, a waterproof camera with 6 megapixel, which rests tethered in a pocket against my bosom in my MsFit Tour Kokatat PFD throughout this journey for opportunities for on water pics at a quick touch of the shutter release. I've been impressed with this small but capable camera.
I also visited "The Bulk Barn", a paddler's paradise for filling the hatches with nutritious foods. Here I found dried cantaloupe, nuts, chocolate and a cornucupia of delectable snacks.
Back in Lark Harbour, Janice and Lee treated me to stewed moose meat which Lee had hunted last fall, a gamey tasting meat that I found very tasty. Thank you again, Janice and Lee!
On the news today was the Royal St. John's Regatta, a rowing event which has been occurring on Quidi Vidi Lake since 1818. It is the oldest sporting event in North America. Winds weren't blowing gale force in eastern Newfoundland thankfully.

hello wendy. I'm just catching up with you again as it's been a while since I've had oportunity to read your blog.I do wonder about you daily but with my husband in Iqaluit, a pre-teen to keep tabs on and 2 toddlers I can honestly say time is not my friend.:)Its been a while now since you "catapoled" in to our little community of Northern Bay and I'm so glad to see your still going strong.Did you anticipate this venture to take this long? and do you think you'll complete your journey in time to teach in september? Regardless, I hope your having the time of your life!!It sure sounds like you are. God Bless Wendy!!!
Hi Dawn,
I planned for 4 months to complete the journey. I predict 4 or 5 more paddling days. Now I need a window of good weather. Thanks for you support. LOL! I did catapault into Northern Bay, eh!
