Boarded the ferry at 5AM just minutes before a cloudburst downpour!
A rough morning of trying to catch a little sleep in reclining chairs, a long tiring nine hour crossing, and we were finally disembarking at five Pm under sunny skies!
First impressions were “now I know why they call it ‘the rock’!”
Our intention was to circle the Port aux Port Peninsula but by the time we got to Stephenville we were being hammered by a strong crosswind, the sky was black and a heavy squall was hitting the peninsula hard, so we about turned and headed to Barachois Pond Provincial Campground about thirty kilometres away to spend the night.
