Tracking Information
Notes
In July and August 2011, we sailed from Boston to Nova Scotia,
Newfoundland, and Labrador. The northernmost port during our
trip was Cartwright, Labrador. We returned to Marblehead,
Massachusetts on Monday, September 5, 2011.
In July and August 2010, we sailed from Boston to Nova Scotia,
Newfoundland, and continued further north along the Labrador
coast. The northernmost port during our trip was Black Tickle
(Salmon Bight), Labrador. We returned to Marblehead,
Massachusetts on Sunday, August 29, 2010.
In July and August 2009 during a five week trip from Boston, we
successfully circumnavigated Newfoundland and stopped in
Labrador. We transited through the Strait of Belle Isle which
separates Newfoundland from Labrador and always has the worst
weather near "the Rock." During our passages we saw innumerable
whales, dolphins, and sea birds. We counted ten large icebergs
and approached three of them closely.

Information on our Recent Sailing
- Day 23; Sunday, August 12, 2012
Sailing itinerary: In port
Boat breakages: Twenty days without a breakage!
In-port fun: The Skerwink Trail took us a scenic five kilometers to and from Skerwink Head. The trail comes complete with blueberry and raspberry bushes! We thank Chip for taking us to the trailhead and John and Katie for bringing us back to the dock!
Culinary treats: Drinks aboard Ben and Lorraine's boat Benlorra were followed by dinner at the Dock Marina. Aunt Sally's chocolates have been secured on board for future enjoyment!
- Day 22; Saturday, August 11, 2012
Sailing itinerary: In port
Boat breakages: Nineteen days without a breakage!
In-port fun: The Trinity Pageant is a walking drama that highlights the history of Trinity. One gets a sense of the hardships that settlers faces as they tried to make a living in the harsh environs of Newfoundland. We were entertained and educated during the presentation. One question remains: What jokes are told if it isn't raining? We also enjoyed the Dinner Theatre, which treated us to a host of traditional Newfoundland songs followed by a skit about the wedding of a Newfoundland bride and a groom from Toronto. The day ended with a one-act play that was based on a local family, the Randalls.
Culinary treats: A mid-day treat consisted of delicious coffee, sandwiches, and a green salad with an herb dressing at Trinity Mercantile.
- Day 21; Friday, August 10, 2012
Sailing itinerary: Little Harbor, Newfoundland en route to Trinity Harbor, Newfoundland via Traytown Harbor, Newfoundland
Sea conditions: Sunny and warm; winds 5-10 knots, seas less than 1 meter
Distance: 20 nautical miles
Boat breakages: Eighteen days without a breakage!
Nature alert: Hundreds of jellyfish were spotted in the water near Ireland's Eye. These whitish-clear jellyfish are, we learned, the food of sea turtles. No wonder Jamie thought he spotted one a few days earlier! Later, the boat was surrounded by lots of porpoises, all types of birds, and a single whale was spotted.
In-port fun: A mid-day hike from TrayTown Harbor gave us a look at the natural beauty and the old, now abandoned settlements of Ireland's Eye. In Trinity Harbor, we got back from dinner to discover a jar of locally-made jam in the cockpit!
Culinary treats: A first attempt at fish cakes was successful! Thanks to Graham and Barbara for the fish and Derek and Vera for the savory, meaning Newfoundland savory and not summer savory. Snow crab at the restaurant at the aptly-named Dock Marina satiated Lori's taste for Newfoundland crab. Dinner was followed by drinks and Aunt Sally's chocolates courtesy of Amy and Kris aboard their boat.
- Day 20; Thursday, August 9, 2012
Sailing itinerary: In port
Boat breakages: Seventeen days without a breakage!
Sailing Story: We met John and Madonna at the dock. Despite their plan to be on the water before 5:00 a.m. to catch fish, they came aboard for a drink and we learned about John's political career in Newfoundland and on the national level. When asked what guided him in his career, John's answer was, "You got to have your wits about you."
In-port fun: Finding a whole bag of cod left in the cockpit by John and Madonna was the first treat of the day. There was a beautiful trail that took us up and over an overlook to the neighboring harbor, Pope's Harbor. The stake planted at the site of the overlook signifies the place where one can get cell phone coverage! At the dock in Pope's Harbor, we met John and Madonna and thanked them for the cod. As they left, we waited to take the lines of a boat coming in. It was then that we met George and Charlotte. We shared a drink with them before they gave us a tour of the harbor. We enjoyed the accordion music played at a neighbor's house across the water and then made the acquaintance of Wayne, who owns a fish plant in the area. His outdoor shower is elegantly fabricated out of a beer can! When George and Charlotte dropped us off in Little Harbor, we saw that Little Harbor was a very popular place! Later that evening, we had quite a raucous sing-along. Of course, the songs were all from Newfoundland...
Culinary treats: We feasted on hicken with potatoes and carrots aboard Enchante and ended the meal with Lori's boat-made blueberry and raspberry lattice-top pie.
- Day 19; Wednesday, August 8, 2012
Sailing itinerary: Departed Deer Harbour, Newfoundland en route to Little Harbor, Newfoundland
Sea conditions: Sunny and warm; southeast winds 5-10 knots, seas less than 1 meter
Distance: 9 nautical miles
Boat breakages: Sixteen days without a breakage!
Local news: We met John and Madonna at the dock. Despite their plan to be on the water before 5:00 a.m. to catch fish, they came aboard for a drink and we learned about John's political career in Newfoundland and on the national level. When we asked John what guided him in his career, his answer was, "You got to have your wits about you."
In-port fun: The blueberries and raspberries were ripe and they were everywhere! We picked a pint of each and Lori made a pie of hand-picked berries.
Culinary treats: Fresh fish from our dock neighbors Graham and Barbara makes for delicious fare. An antipasto platter, garlic bread, and crab and shrimp risotto was served on board.

Sea conditions: Dense fog with less than 1/4 mile visibility; winds west 20-25 knots with gusts to 30, seas 1-2 meters
Distance: 74 nautical miles

Notable sailing achievement: Trinity Harbor did not fail to deliver on making sailors work for the benefits of this bay. Lori sailed the shift that she most wanted to end, going straight into 25-30 knots of wind and a 2-meter sea.
Local news: Stew and Lily have a cabin, which they travel to on their fishing boat. Stew had a 65-foot fishing vessel for years and now he and his wife fish on a small boat. Stew says that if he's ever found more than twenty miles out it's because he broke down.
Culinary treats: Chicken francese with linguini
- Day 17; Monday, August 6, 2012

Sailing itinerary: In port
Boat breakages: Thirteen days without a breakage!
In-port fun: The St. John's Folk Festival had its best year ever due to awesome performers and beautiful weather! We treated ourselves to the music of The Once and The Seven Deadly Sons. Sean McCann and Bob Hallet took the stage for a rousing rendition of Excursion Around the Bay. The concert ended with Ode to Newfoundland sung by Anita Best.
Culinary treats: Lunch consisted of croissants, fish cakes, and a pulled pork sandwich from Rocket. Our foray to the folk festival was preceded by drinks and a spread of delicacies on Young Harry with Máire, Andrew, and Simon.
- Day 15; Saturday, August 4, 2012
Sailing itinerary: In port
Boat breakages: Twelve days without a breakage!
In-port fun: A walk to the Quidi-Vidi Brewery yielded a view of a beautiful harbor and a story about a boat that capsized due to currents, confirming our original assessment that we can't take the boat there. This area has many kilometers of trails with beautiful views of landscape and seascape.
Culinary treats: We had great coffee and fish cakes and at Gracie Joe's. The evening started with drinks on board the Sea Quester with Máire and Andrew from Young Larry and Simon, and Lori served crab-filled pepper strips and a smoked salmon, red onion, and cream cheese bruschetta. The restaurant Chinched Bistro was our dinner spot. For the uninitiated, you are so stuffed that you need to undo the top button on your pants if you are chinched.
- Day 14; Friday, August 3, 2012
Sailing itinerary: Arrived in St. John's, Newfoundland
Distance: 199 nautical miles
Sea conditions: Rainy and foggy, less than 1/2 mile visibility; south winds 15-20 knots, seas 1-2 meters
Boat breakages: Eleven days without a breakage! Something must be wrong...
Sailing story: We found ourselves stalled out by Pier 7 wondering where to dock when we spotted a man flagging us down. He motioned to us to raft to a boat there and took our lines as we came alongside the vessel. As it turns out, our helpful friend was driving to his destination when he saw us and stopped his car to help us find a berth. The boat we rafted to belongs to Simon, who has been across the Atlantic to Europe, down to the Canary Islands, and back since we first met him in Saint-Pierre years ago!
Local News: Madeline of Moomba, who we met years ago when circumnavigating Newfoundland, met us at the dock and took us to her beautiful and comfortable home. That's where we heard the ultimate rat story! As Madeline's grandmother's family tried to catch a rat that had scurried into the house, the rat sought shelter in her grandmother's nightgown. Her grandmother wasted no time securing the offending creature in the folds of the nightgown and squeezing it to death! I suggest our captain wear a suitable nightgown the next time he decides to work in the cockpit late at night when the Sea Quester is lying alongside a wharf.
Culinary treats: You can never go wrong with pan fried cod cooked by Madeline or Cyril Martin!
- Day 13; Thursday, August 2, 2012

- Day 11; Tuesday, July 31, 2012
Sailing itinerary: In port
Boat breakages: Eight days without a breakage!
Nature alert: Discovered by Jamie in the cockpit of the Sea Quester as he worked on his computer at about 2:30 a.m., a rat!!! Moral of the story: When you are lying alongside a wharf, don't reach out in the direction of a noise in the cockpit when you are in complete and total darkness unless you are planning to make furry physical contact with the intruder. If you had been within a mile or so of the Sea Quester at the time, you would have heard Jamie's screams...
Culinary treats: On board Raven with Nina and Yan, red wine with lovely cheeses and pates and a baguette plus Lori's smoked salmon spread with tomatoes, red onion, and capers with crackers...Dinner at Ongi Etorri

Sailing itinerary: Departed Louisbourg, Nova Scotia en route to Saint Pierre in France

Boat breakages: Six days without a breakage! White smoke is (hopefully!) just condensation...
Nature alert: Lots of dolphins at the bow swimming with the boat

- Day 8; Saturday, July 28, 2012
Sailing itinerary: In port
Boat breakages: Five days without a breakage! Of course, it's hard to break stuff in port...
Culinary treats: The crab dinner at The Lobster Kettle Restaurant cannot be beat! Be prepared for a meal that will take longer to eat than it would take you to see a sailing movie of your choice! Four pounds of crab from Louisbourg Seafoods is now aboard the Sea Quester. Good things will be coming out of the icebox.
- Day 7; Friday, July 27, 2012
Sailing itinerary: Arrived in Louisbourg, Nova Scotia
Distance: 183 nautical miles
Sea conditions: Rainy and cold; south wind 20-25 knots turning to east northeast 10-15 knots, seas less than 1 meter
Boat breakages: Four days without a breakage, but white smoke observed in the engine exhaust. What could it be?
Notable sailing achievement: The Sea Quester left Halifax about six hours after our friends on Altair, both vessels heading to Louisbourg, and the Sea Quester arrived in port just ahead of Altair. Well, the Sea Quester did sail all night while Altair spent the night at anchor in the Yankee Cove area...
Sailing story: Altair had been overshadowed in Halifax by a 150-foot sailing vessel with a mast sixty feet higher that its mast, but Altair was able to regain its status as a large vessel as its mast towered over that of the Sea Quester by sixty feet in Louisbourg!

Culinary treats: On board Altair, for lunch, Liron and Niv prepared and served us whole grain bread; mussels with a white wine sauce, mixed green salad with pomegranate and fig, goat cheese and ham quiche, bird nest with pecan ice cream with honey topped with raspberry.

Sailing story: Due to his interest in (or more accurately his obsession with) his new AIS device, Jamie was checking out boats all around when he found Altair, a ninety-six foot vessel from Seattle, in Halifax. We had met Bob of Altair last year in Provincetown on the side of the road and we had joined him aboard Altair for lunch in Marblehead talk sailing. Our efforts to contact him were successful, and he got right back to us with an invitation for lunch on Wednesday.
