Finally, The Rock

Here we are at Blanc Sablon, the end of Quebec and the start of Labrador.  We spent the night at the Northern Lights Inn which is in Labrador so it is official.
In the morning, there was a mad scramble to get a place on the Apollo.  She had a 'small fire'  the night before and needed an inspection (rumor said) before sailing again.  Barry did some razzle-dazzle with the ticket agent about how motorcycles with priority should be the same a reservations and we made the first ferry (3 hours late) instead of the second which would have been later yet.After sailing through the fog, we are now at St Barbe, officially on the Rock.

Tomorrow we're going to St Anthony.  We'll see the L'Anse aux Meadows, which is where the Vikings had there first settlement, 500 years before Columbus.  If the weather is better, we might take a cruise to see icebergs, whales, and, if we're lucky, some puffins.
