A quick scoot past Grand Bruit from the lobster camp at Picaroon Island on our way to Rose Blanche.

Georgia wants to try her hand at everything her brother Andy is doing during our time at the lobster camp, including packing lobster crates. Hope everyone is continuing to stay safe. #pandemicescape #lobsterseason2020

Lobster Season 2020 Preparations
Lobster Season 2020 Preparations

Hello everyone! We've been super quiet lately, admittedly not knowing what to say in this ever-changing Covid-19 pandemic. Clearly this is going to be a different summer for everyone, us included. While we wait to find out what the next few weeks and months will bring, we thought we would show you some images and videos from time-to-time about what we're doing these days. Our skippers George and Andy, who are also essential workers during this global pandemic as commercial professional fish harvesters, are loading traps to take to the boat at the wharf today in preparation for the start of the 2020 lobster fishing season. How are you all keeping busy?

A quick look around the “little” harbour at the abandoned community of Petites, NL during our Resettlements Grand Tour that took place yesterday. #explorenl #icebergsnl #experiencenl @newfoundlandlabrador

Our Experience Rose Blanche - Petites tour is on tomorrow! This is a boating and land excursion package featuring three distinctive elements: 1. Tour Rose Blanche Lighthouse and visit associated properties; 2. A return boat ride to abandoned Petites from Rose Blanche; and 3. Experience Petites with a guided tour and visit the former Bethany United Church. Duration: Approximately 2.5 hours in total. Rose Blanche Lighthouse, 1 hour; boat ride, 15 minutes each way; Petites tour, 1 hour) Times are approximate and may change pending weather conditions. Departs: Rose Blanche Harbour If you are interested in joining us, please call 709-694-0563 or 709-694-0568 to create your booking. Rose Blanche Lighthouse

It would have taken a lot more than fog or drizzle to dampen the spirits of these passengers on our Resettlements Grand Tour earlier today. Way to go guys, you really know how to have a lot of fun showing us how to do a proper deck dance.

We've spotted this beautiful stag several times now during our Resettlements Grand Tour. It seems to like exploring small islands/big rocks close by Grand Bruit.

Always a lot of fun when the ocean shows us some surprises. Today it's orcas, just off Port aux Basques. #orcas #killerwhales #oceansurprises #strongswimmers

Experience Rose Blanche/Petites This tour includes visits to two heritage structures, the Rose Blanche Lighthouse in Rose Blanche-Harbour Le Cou, and Bethany United Church in the resettled community of Petites. The short-duration boat tour to Petites provides ample opportunity for great photos and there's always the possibility of seeing dolphins, sunfish whales or orcas.
