Fog fog fog

The fog came rolling in on saturday evening, and has stayed ever since. All day yesterday was pretty thick low fog. But during the night it must have been bad, because at 4:15 I was awakened by the local fog horn right here in the harbor. I can alway here the one from out on signal hill, all night long, like a constant hum. But the one that woke me up was really loud, and ever ten seconds... Had to get up, close my window, and try to ignore it!!

Screeched in!

I am now a proud honorary Newfoundlander!
I have consumed a bountiful taste of Newfoundland's finest rum and have performed the ceremonial rites associated therein (including kissing a cod....)!

Another great lobster dinner

Starting to really enjoy the local seasonal favorites from the sea!!

Fox Island hike

Monday was the day of the fox island hike! The sun was out, and it was a beautiful hike! We even met two black tail eagles!

In the picture: me, Chris, Minh, Bernard, Therese, Hadar and Pat.

Big Red: our new best friend!

Our best friend on hiking trips; Big Red!! Super-comfy to drive in, great seats, and super spacious inside, sits 6 persons! And great for beers on the pick up hatch!
The perfect car for a road-trip!

Hiking the Skerwink trail

A beautiful day in central Newfoundland! After a long night of monopoly (we gave up at 2am...) no one was winning! An early morning of great breakfast, we headed out the door of the Fisher´s Inn and off on the Skerwink trail. A 5.3 km coastal trail, but we did all the detours, so guessing we did around 6 km. It was a beautiful day of sun and wind, slightly chilly, but with good gear we were well prepared and did not freeze! Therese and I are taking a little "sun-break"!

The Fisher´s Loft

Our home for the long-weekend! A beautifully renovated complex of 5 houses. And great view, food and people! What more can you wish for on a long-weekend in the Newfoundland wilderness!

May 2-4

The longweekend has started! And this beauty is our vehicle for the weekend, her name is Big Red! She is huge!! You have to climb up to get in! But very moose-safe!

The view from my bedroom window tonight

The 68 meter long schooner Santa Maria Manuela docked along side our office buliding today. She is a beautiful portugese white 4 master, buildt in 1937 and was used for cod fishing here on the Great Banks. And she will be here all week long, taking onboard visitors on the weekend. So my plan is to go down Saturday and take a tour! But before 15, when we are leaving for our longweekend get-away off the Avalon peninsula, over on the main island.

Happy Norway Day!

Dressed up in red, white and blue, for a day in the office on the 17th of May! Feels a littlestrange to be working, when everyone back home is walking in a parade, eating ice-cream and singing songs! But we will leave the office at 16, to go home to Anders and Jacquline to have a little bbq and some champagne! Have a great constitution day!
