1 -  Lichen.

2 -   Berries  galore.  The  colours at  this  time of year  are amazing

Ports and Anchorages:

3:  Tikigatsiak.

4: Black bear  skin drying Hopedale.

5:Tom eating Bake Apples -  Labradors  signature wild berry -  also known  as Cloud Berry. They  smell and taste  like  old  sox (  to put it politely)  Definitively an acquired taste  that I have failed to develop.  But pretty plants. 

6:  Tom  picking  blueberries at Tikigatsiak -  they were  think  on the hill and we were doing well until  the breeze dropped and the Black flies drove us back to the boat. 

7:  Frances B in Granny's  boot -  a  spectacular enclosed anchorage  where  the berrying was  amazing  and we  sat out a strong Southerly.

8:  Makkovic -  a  small  port  with fishing complex where we took on fuel -  had  showers at the  fishing complex.

Wildlife:

9:  Razorbills  at Herring Islands -  a large  colony  where on the island we passed  to Starboard I  counted  over 1400 Razorbills

10  Short tailed  Shearwater:  spied about 53 deg. North - These are the Mutton Birds  that  will soon make  the migration to Tasmania  and Southern Australia.  So it  will be interesting  who will get  there  first -  Dave and me  or  the Birds.  According  to cousin Judy -  they  get  to Clifton beach about the end of November  so we  may beat  them!!

11: Ice Tickle  where  seals lounged on the  rocks

12 13 14 -   Gannett  Islands - an ecological reserve  and Razorbill and Puffin  colony - Probably  the most  important, in Nth Atlantic. We had  wonderful weather and had  clouds of Puffins  wheeling around us.
