We had left Cobbs Arm on New World Island at 7:30, paddled through Pikes Arm, crossed over to South Twillingate Island. We lunched at Codjack Cove after paddling near 20 kms. We were now paddling among more dramatic granitic and volcanic rocks.
Clam Rock Head in the distance.
Neville paddles by a grey sea stack that stands out against what looks to be rust stained rocks. Hard to say exactly from the seat of a kayak, from a distance and without a rock hammer.

In the 70's a buddy of mine and I paddled from Clarenville to Little Heat's Ease in my 14foot canoe. When we arrived at my Uncle's house he asked how we arrived because he heard no cars. I pointed to my canoe and he said "you two are touched." I have a couple of pictures of that trip and in comparison to today's equipment, my Uncle Roy was right, we were touched.
