Our stay in St. John's has come to a close, but before leaving the city we are paying a visit to the Terry Fox Memorial. Here at Mile 0, it was on April 12th 1980, that Terry began his quest, and set off on his Marathon of Hope, in hopes of raising funds for the cure of cancer while running across Canada.

My final shot from the Penthouse balcony is of this sailing vessel anchored outside The Narrows of St. John's Harbour.

Terry Fox Memorial Gardens

Well we're back on the road again and heading for Aquaforte, (near bottom of map) and our next sleep-over. But at this moment we are approaching Bay Bulls, (top of map) and it is here that Keith and the capelin will be rolling. Bay Bulls is at the tip of Bulls Bay, along the east coast on Route 10, and the first town south of St. John's.

Usually in the month of July, millions of capelin roll along the eastern shores of Newfoundland during the spawning season. After spawning, the male capelin have an extremely high mortality rate which is close to 100%. Whales, seals, cod, squid, mackerel, and seabirds all feast on capelin. If you haven't seen the entertaining videos of the capelin rolling, the links are at the bottom of the introduction to this album.

There are a lot of hungry mouthes to feed perched on these rocks.

Then all of a sudden the birds take flight and are headed towards their feeding grounds--capelin on the shore.

We are on our way to meet up with Keith who by now is nearing the end of his marathon from Bay Bulls.

Moments after connecting up with Keith, we continued along Route #10 and arrived here in Ferryland.

Isle aux Bois

I'm thinkin' the flatter areas on the island could be the past gun battery placements manned by the Ferryland women.

The plaque you read two photographs back is located in the vicinity of Sandy Cove. This is also where we parked our vehicles along side the road (the squiggly white line left of Sandy Cove) and walked the remaining distance along the path to the Ferryland Lighthouse.

This is a pleasant kilometre, and a little bit, stroll from our cars to the lighthouse.

Visitors to the Ferryland Lighthouse may pre- order a picnic lunch before they arrive and then enjoy the ocean and the whales as they lounge on the grassy slopes.

The majority of the visitors however just come to do some ocean viewing and whale watching.

It is easy for me to become mesmerized by the sights and sounds of the pounding ocean serf.

While driving back from Sandy Cove we pull over one final time before Aquaforte at this tiny inlet of Ferryland's harbour entrance.
