Wendy is in Fischells
Wednesday, August 09, 2006
Glenn here:
Once again I am working from rather sketchy notes, copied by my 15 year old son. Since his 'phone conversation with Wendy this evening did not involve girls, tattoos or guitars, the details may be a little sparse.
Wendy is in Fischells, camped out on a lawn for the night. Her hosts are Gordon and Amelia Brown. She wants to express her thanks again to the Rumbolt family for so kindly giving her free rein of their home while they were away. Also, Wendy is grateful to Dan and Graham for helping her get under way this morning. -Thanks guys!
Hopefully Wendy will give us some details on the Stephenville to Fischells trip at her next internet stop, which will not be until after she rounds the desolate Anguille Mountain range and Cape Anguille itself. Keep a good thought folks, this is one rugged piece of coastline.
Go Wendy!

So how's the fishin' at Fiscell's Wendy? Or is it Robinson's River? or Crabbe's? or Codroy? You are in prime salmon fishing country along that shore. Hopefully you had a good day of paddling as the bay was flat calm for as far as the eye could see. While Cape Anguille is visible from Stephenville, the 60 km +/-distance left us guesting as to what the conditions were like across the bay. Good Luck ... look forward to seeing an update.

Hi Wendy:
I realize that sitting on the beach in the Highlands is not where you want to be this evening, but such is life. Had you paddled yesterday you would have rounded Cape Anguille, but then again you would not have met Gwen. You would also have been paddling into an inclement forecast for the Wreckhouse. As my Dad often said: "tomorrow is another day." Dan and I are off for a five day cruise of Bonavista Bay and Hamilton Sound ... otherwise it would have been a joy to paddle with you on the final leg of your journey. Good luck and may your long bow cut nimbly through the rolling seas!
Graham (Stephenville Fri 7:40 p.m.)
