Bonne Bay Newfoundland Canada

We arrived at Bonne Bay Newfoundland after almost three days at sea crossing the Atlantic Ocean in quite rough conditions over 15 feet at times. One experience was had when we were having breakfast in the dining room and the waves were smashing up against the ship and making a lot of noise. Mother duck was quite perturbed and when one huge wave came right over the side and I almost had to scrape her off the ceiling.
Woody Point was the name of the town of 7000 people on Bonne Bay which lies on the west side of Newfoundland. It was a nice little place lots of wooden houses but above all we noticed some gardens and trees that we hadn't seen in Iceland and Greenland. A very pleasant change. We have now entered the St Lawrence River and conditions have improved considerably.
