Twillingate 2

We had intended to take it easy our second day in Twillingate. However we stopped for a coffee at a wharf-side restaurant that happened to offer whale watching tours. We said what the heck! Here is the vessel:

The tour was about two hours with no promises of a siting.
Anyway we did manage to briefly see two whales: a mienke (sp) and  fin whale. Of course by the time you uncover the lens to shoot its too late. Anyway there was a bit of a swell and it was a beautiful day so S and I really enjoyed it. Here is a shot of an island off shore:

For supper we had tickets to a dinner theatre. We had a tasty lobster and laughs till we cried. Lots of fun.

I'm forever fascinated by the fishing boats. I learned thatwhile the cod have come back from the brink from 1992, the principal fisheries these days are shrimp and crab. Both require sailing for  five to seven days to get to the fishing grounds.
