Sailing towards Nain
We saw several icebergs sailing from Hopedale towards Nain. They were all aground on various relatively shallow (ie, less than 100m) spots. We came close to some to have a better look.

Rowboat
Hopedale, Labrador, Canada
I saw several plywood rowboats like this one around Hopedale, where they are used for fishing and rowing around. Note the thole pins for oarlocks.
Hunting Party
Hopedale, Labrador, Canada
Four-wheelers are very popular in northern Canada. What roads exist are gravel and not very long, and the four-wheelers/ATVs work well on them and on the many trails.
Hopedale Dock
Hopedale, Labrador, Canada
The public dock is a popular place. The children are playing and I believe the adults are getting ready to go seal hunting.
