Canadian Coast Guard & Elizabeth Madeline

"Canadian Coast Guard" ship just came out of the fog headed right for St. John's Harbour.

"Elizabeth Madeline" making her way home to St. John's harbour. The "Iceberg Quest" Ocean Tours boat behind. One thing always never very far from the East Coast is that bank of fog, you can see it very visible in the background here.

More icebergs @ Twillingate

We made several trips out to the coast over the past couple of weeks in search of icebergs. The best so far was this trip to Twillingate (also in the previous post). They certainly attract a lot of tourists which is excellent for the local area. I really liked the opportunity I had with the rainbow too, my son Tyler is studying the wave action and trying to reach a piece of ice from the berg. He succeeded, and iceberg ice is NOT salty, (I had to try it). Unfortunately we didn't have a cooler as he collected quite a bit and it is good for drinks, lasts longer than icecube ice from home.

Little Berg

On the trip to Twillingate yesterday this is the only "iceberg" to be seen. It looks like it's been around for a while with the top all rounded off and smooth. I hope the next couple of months brings lots of icebergs for the tourists and the tour boat operators.

Long Point

We went for the "sunday drive" today out to Twillingate in search of icebergs. I heard earlier the week that there may be one out there, even though it is a tad bit early for the north east coast we didn't need much of an excuse to get out of the house. Unfortunately, no big icebergs however there was one small "bergie bit." (I'll post later in the week) It was a beautiful sunny day, kind of spring like till you get out of the car out near the ocean.....on the horizan it is all ice hence the BITTER COLD breeze.
