TR: Newfoundland – Fortune (19 Aug 2010)

After hitting up the St. John’s area of Newfoundland where we also saw Signal Hill and Cape Spear, we then headed south down to Marystown and then Fortune. Fortune appears a bit stark at first.

But, if you look a bit closer, you’ll find the real beauty that Fortune has to offer.

One of my favorite scenes of the day – boat houses.

Dry docks.

My favorite boat, for obvious reasons 😉

Islands in the distance.

Shoreline.

Fortune has a population of about 2,000 people.

With a history linked back to fishing, those lost at sea are deeply remembered.

We were in Fortune to catch the ferry over to St. Pierre, an island that remains a colony of France.

Last view of the Fortune harbor from the ferry.

Next up- ferry ride and wonderful St. Pierre!
