Off the Beaten Path in Maritime Canada

MV Northern Ranger in Postville

I’ve created this post as a kind of home page to make it easier to navigate all of our posts about the Maritime Canada trip which took place August 1 to 21, 2018.  You can just scroll down to see all the posts or click the links below to see the various posts directly.   The most recent are at the bottom. 

If you click/tap the images they will expand and allow you to click through them on your computer or swipe on your mobile device.  On your computer hit <F11> to expand the browser to full screen to see them as big as possible and hit <F11> again to return it back to normal.  To exit the images and return to reading hit the “X” if you see it or click / tap outside the images.  Sometimes you might see a smaller gallery of pictures and clicking them will scroll through only those pictures.  Don’t hit your browser back button to exit pictures or it will take you back too far.

I hope you enjoy reading about our journey. Please feel free to leave questions and comments at the end of a post.

Path for August 15, 2018 – Natuashish,north to Nain, south to Natuashish, & Sea at Night

We woke to get some breakfast and as we finished, the Northern Ranger started its last leg of our northward journey.  The skies were grey as we left Natuashish but that didn’t stop us from returning to the bow for the rest of the morning with Dave, Anne, and Pastor Andrews. As morning wore on, the weather began to improve and we occasionally saw the sun as we moved through the many islands and rocky points of land. We were on the way to Nain. During this part of the trip we rounded Paul Island and got the furthest north of our trip at N56°33’44”. The lighting conditions were not great for photos but I have included a couple here so you can see what it looked like. Better ones are coming later during the return trip.
