After two days of driving, four provinces, plenty of bizarre diners and one overnight ferry we finally reached the shores of beautiful Newfoundland, the land of screech and cod, a real mariners home.
The drive was great if not for having some time to contemplate the begining of our expedition but for Edvin and I to discuss the long list of things to be done to the boat when we arrived…….if she was still there. We talked in depth of the ice reinforcements, conditions and crewing issues while a beautiful maritime backdrop slide past the cracked wind screen. Finally, we pulled into Lewisporte and memories of last year came back to us a we drove through the small town and we grew even more excited, we finally reached the yacht club and pulled up to the boat where she sat in all her glory the same as the day she was left. There were smiles all around as we began to unseal her after a long winters sleep and began to prepare her for her Arctic odyssey.
Some lessons learned: Bread does not last 8 months, empty coffee pot before winterizing boat, living on a boat on land with no running water or water closet produces its own special challenges.
