In a bit of housekeeping, here's a summary of a trip along the South Coast from Harbour Le Cou to Burgeo that Ralph, Stan and I completed in June/July 2010.
The plan was to take the coastal ferry from Burgeo to Rose Blanche and take four days to paddle back, all around the resettlement of the community of Grand Bruit. We arrived in Burgeo two days before the ferry departure date.
I should point out the ferry does not take this run anymore so a long car shuttle or other arrangements have to be made to cover this coastline.

Very interesting and an amazing fact to witness a funeral of a small village as late as 2010!

This trip was a while ago. Our club asked me to make some of my trip reports available through the website so I'm summarizing making to make one link access to the whole trip.
