Whales and Icebergs, for real and close up

The drive to St. Anthony is quite beautiful.  It is mostly right along the St. Lawrence Seaway. The road is two lanes.  There is one fishing village after another.  The names of some are;  Brig Bay, Plum Point, Pond Cove, Nameless Cove, Eddie' s Cove, Deadman's Cove.  Sometimes the coast is rocky with waves  crashing.  Sometimes it seems like a sandy beach.  Finally a town approaches.  We drive down Main St and find the parking lot for our boat adventure.

This is our little boat.

We went slowly through the harbor.  There were boats docked all around.  Lobster season ended last week, so lobster traps were piled up.  The search was on to spot whales.



Quickly our guide saw two and we followed them for a while.  They put on a pretty good show.

Then it was time to circle the two very large icebergs in the bay.




 The shapes are incredible, formed mostly by wind and water.  As we circled the iceberg, the theme from Titanic was playing.

The captain then took the boat near a little piece of iceberg floating along.  The guide used a net and hauled it in.

Then he chopped it up.

We tasted 10,000 year old water, in frozen form.
Notice the cute little puffin hat.  Perfect for South Carolina.
