Western Brook Wonders

Western Brook is the name given to a magnificent fiord like body of water in Gros Morne National Park.  It is a tourist must do while visiting Gros Morne.  Occasionally they have to cancel the trip due to poor weather; however the forecast seemed encouraging and  two boats were fully loaded and ready for spectacular scenery and photographic opportunities.

Soon after leaving  the dock we realized that our day might not  be splendid sunshine and fine photos.  That being said it is always interesting to get dramatic photos when the weather is changing.

The further in to the journey and the darker the skies became.

This photo shows the other boat that was following us.  It gives you a better idea of how large these cliffs  really are.

Gratefully being sailors we had prepared for wet and cold weather....including long undies which were gratefully appreciated by the time the trip was over.

Once again you can see the sheer size of this body of water and its surrounding rock.

In between the showers we were able to see some other colours than gray.

By the time our boat was on its way back to the dock everyone was huddled and desperately trying to stay warm and as dry as they possibly could.  Unfortunately the boat had limited shelter so the hardy stayed above decks and saw what Western Brook looked like in sleet, fog and driving rain.
Once back in eLVie we found just what we needed to thaw us out....hot chocolate and a wee shot of rum.
