The weather surprised us with a window to visit Ile aux Marins (Island of the Sailors). It was a hiking and photographic dream. Despite the building wind and dropping temps, we hiked from one end to another seeking images to capture and share with you. This one features the “eye hole” of a boat winch (used to pull boats from the sea) and a long view of the coast to a red historic building in the background.In Langlade, we followed a boardwalk to a trail that led us to a bird’s eye view over the coast. This side shoot invited me to pause and look.Our travels in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon have been filled with travels by ferry, zodiac, van, and by foot. Each conveyance yields new views and adventures. The list of places to come to explore grows by the moment.Number one travel rule for Saint Pierre and Miquelon is that you have at least two baguettes with you at all times because you never know when some delicious local cheese will appear.As we drove from Langlade to Miquelon, we stopped along the sand spit that connects the two. This was something I’ve always wanted to do and there were some horses who kicked up their heels for us. It’s not uncommon for folks to allow their horses some “run free” time.When we first arrived, we had a second breakfast of pain au chocolat and then climbed a steep set of natural steps with a rope to assist to get to a gorgeous view over Langlade. Marian is wearing high vis as it is deer harvest season here and we didn’t want to be mistaken for a deer :-)TA’s Facebook Page

Paddling Chance Cove
Mike, Marian, and I had another fabulous paddling day recently. We set out from Chance Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador and paddled to Rantem and then returned to Chance Cove. We departed from the government wharf, along with many folks headed out to catch cod during the food fishery. We looked across the bay to the popular Chance Cove hike, know for its stunning beauty. Unbeknownst to most hikers, is that the coastline opposite them is equally beauteous-but only accessible via boat, kayak, or bushwhack. Continue reading
