Our Day Of Departure from St John's Newfoundland
Breakfast at Cora's before our departure, with Randy, Karin, Steve senior and Steve Junior
On deck for departure pictures
Just leaving the dock, as we have turned and are heading out to the Narrows.
Just entering the Narrows leaving the Harbour
Also just entering the Narrows looking back into the Harbour
Just now coming out of the Narrows and heading on over for Cape Spear, seas were not to bad here but we could see some waves ahead and they were breaking.
In the Narrows also just entering the sea
This is looking again back as we are leaving the Narrows and St John's Harbour.
The trip on an average sail would have taken us about 9 to 10 hours, but on this day with seas at about 9 to 10 feet on our Port side and breaking with also a 15 to 20 knot wind gusting at times to 30 plus knots we made our first leg of the trip in just 6 and a half hours. This was a good start although we realize we have to store things a little better as there was a bit of a mess inside the boat. So with that we decided we would spend a day of rest and get better organized in Fermeuse.
