Three months ago, on March 13th, some of us paddled Cape Broyle in cold and snow. On Sunday, it was much warmer as we arrived there in brilliant sunshine.
Our first stop was to catch a ride in the current flowing out of this micro hydroelectric facility in Brians Cove. There are a number of these along the Southern Shore fed by freshwater ponds from higher ground. This one is fed by Horse Chops Pond but not ...
... all the water goes there. Here the Horse Chops River runs into the sea.
At Sheeps Head we crossed The Narrows to the south side of the harbour where the cliffs were ...
... more dramatic.
There's access here to the underworld that is hard to see. The dark patch opens up to ...
... a tunnel of light. Not great for picture taking as looking out to the light from the dark overwhelms the camera but its dramatic to paddle through. From this point on it was mostly Cathy and me as the rest carried on while we ...
... investigated every cave and ...
... waterfall. While it was warm in he sun, the extended showering did send a chill through the bones.
Back in sunshine we checked out this cave and ...
... waterfall though this one was out of reach from the seat of our kayaks. We would enjoy its refreshing waters on our return though.
At last we reached Lance Cove where we stopped ...
... for lunch. We occupied the west side of the beach as some hikers on the East Coast Trail were camping on the other side.
