Floating down the Northern summer
Article Abstract:
A sailor relates his cruising experience along the Labrador coast of Newfoundland, Canada, in his 42-foot yacht and home, Balaena, which was named after one of the sailing ships of the Scottish whaling fleet that exploited these waters a hundred years ago. The sailor met several other cruisers who suggested this as an exceptional cruising ground, which has tempted them to come back to the coast year after year.
