Our Vacation was among the many bays and coves around picturesque Bonavista Bay, Newfoundland.  My wife and I drove our car and spent the last month and a half in Newfoundland in the family cottage overlooking Bonavista Bay.

But the cottage on the bay was a home base from which to explore.

Human life on Newfoundland is centered around the thousands of bays and coves, Inland, are thousands of miles of virgin forests where big game such as moose, caribou and black bears thrive.

And where rivers and lakes teem with Atlantic salmon and trout.

Cod Fishing on the bay is one of my favorite pastimes with friends and family. The cod are market size and plentiful right in front of our cottage.

I fished with Mike Hogarth and his friend Jeff Power on one such outing at Trinity Bay just up the peninsula. 

The old red building below in Peace Cove, Trinity Bay were formerly fishing rooms where cod were historically split and salted and placed outside to dry, then shipped to foreign markets in barrels.

Cod Fishing is still very active commercially as this boat below suggests.

Newfoundland is a wild and wondrous place as well as sophisticated in the cities like St John’s I have visited. And the people are very friendly!

Maybe you might like to visit too!!

Good Exploring!
