Bitstop: April 2008

Wednesday, April 30, 2008

I went back to Quidi Vidi and Cuckold's Cove today to see how the icebergs were doing. The ones in Cuckold's Cove have moved a bit and another small one has come into view. There were several people in both places looking at the icebergs in spite of the cold, wind, rain and fog.

Rain + Drizzle + Fog = Icebergs?

We've had a lot of RDF lately and it's been too foggy to see if there are more icebergs coming close. I suspect there are, as the northeast wind that brings the ugly weather will also bring the icebergs. I saw these small icebergs this morning, one in the entrance to Quidi Vidi harbour and the other 2 in Cuckold's Cove nearby. I am hoping that when the fog lifts we'll see a lot more.

Looking for Icebergs

Yesterday when I was at Cape Spear I could see some icebergs in the distance. Since the wind was northwest I thought they might get pushed closer to shore overnight so today I went out in search of icebergs. My first stop was Outer Cove. There was a lot of pack ice in the cove but no big icebergs. I could see a couple in the distance though. Still, the pack ice and bergy bits made for nice photos. After supper Joe and I went to Pouch Cove where there was a beautiful iceberg near land. It seems a little early for icebergs but I hope there are more to come.

Cape Spear

I went to Cape Spear today. It was about 2ºC with a north-west wind but I hardly noticed it. I spent over an hour taking pictures of the waves and walking around. It was a beautiful day and I enjoyed every minute of it.
