8\/13 Up early to go out to the lighthouse for pictures. There was no one there so Jean-Francois and I went out on the rocks to get pictures of lighthouse with the waves that were crashing in. I tried a lot of different shots with varying success and later learned that when you’re in a high moisture salt water environment your lens gets clouded with salt water. Some of the shots turned out very well anyway. It was a beautiful sunny day without the wind from the night before so it was nice for extended picture taking.<\/p>\n
We stopped at the national historic site on the way out and learned about the people who had lived in the area thousands of years ago.<\/p>\n
It was a very windy ride on highway 430 to Deer Lake to pick up Trans Canada Highway 1 to go to the Baie Vert peninsula. However, compared to the wind we’d encountered previously it was pretty tolerable. We have heard there may be icebergs at Twillingate, so we’re heading in that direction.<\/p>\n
Camped at Flatland Pond south of Baie Vert which\u00a0 was full of RVs and blasting generators. Not a great campground.<\/p>\n
