Bell Island, Day One

 Aug 8, 2024  

Woke to a beautiful day on a remote beach in Dildo. A grandfather amd his two little grandchildren came by in his ATV and chatted with us for a bit. 

Our morning view

No matter the origin, if your name is Dildo you might as well embrace it, so to speak


Headed to Portugal Cove to take the ferry to Bell Island
Fascinating seeing how the different ferries are built for loading and unloading vehicles
Leaving Portugal Cove
Approaching Bell Island


We will pull over after disembarking so the other vehicles won’t have to go slowly up this hill with us


Bell Island Lightstation

Hiked out beyond the lighthouse


And enjoyed watching the waves interact with this arch that goes through to the other side




Then to Lance Cove on the other side of this small island to make dinner and settle in for the night.  These were our neighbors.
Lance Cove was the only place in North America to take a direct hit from a Nazi U-boat in WWII 
The memorial to those lost in that attack


Our view included these two bird sanctuary islands
Our neighbors thought we might share dinner with them.
