Sailing into Hopedale
Hopedale, Labrador, Canada
We sailed up the Labrador coast to Hopedale, where we are approaching the anchorage in the picture. Hopedale is a fairly long way in from the outer islands (about 30 miles), so, arriving late enough yesterday to be unable to reach Hopedale before dark, we hove-to offshore for the night, then sailed in the morning. Hopedale is the site of a Moravian church and a museum which we plan to visit.Yann’s vacation time has finished, so, sadly for us, he has returned to France.
More Rigging Work
Cartwright, Labrador, Canada
We went back to Cartwright a few days ago (we are north of there now) for more work on the rigging.
Bergy Bit
A bergy bit is a large piece of glacier ice (not sea ice), but smaller than an iceberg. Bergy bits extend more than 1m above sea level and generally less than 5m above sea level.
