Update

It's a jungle out there!For weeks now people have been asking if we saw any whales and we said,not yet. Well, it turns out that when these small fish called Kaplan, come close to shore, so do the whales to eat them, and many other swimming creatures as well. One of our days out there on a big sea rounding Cape Race, we saw from far a humpback whale lifting his big long white side wing, and diving down, maybe 20 seconds later we noticed 2 big white spots moving under our kayaks making turbulence on the surface, giving us nearly a heart attack!We felt this was our scariest encounter with the wild life. But then the next day we had a whale come out of the water only 50cm in front of my kayak, diving right under Tomer's just inches away while both of us were racing away from it in opposite directions. At the end of that day we had more than 10 humpbacks around us feeding peacefully.Both our mom's on the phone asked if we got any pictures and both of usseparately answered that we get so scared it paralyzes us so neither goes for the camera. too bad we can't share these experiences.We haven't seen the sun for 2 weeks now because this area has the Labrador current meeting the golf stream bringing thick for, so again we crosses in dark fog another bay with dolphins, seals and whales popping up everywhere.Again, hoping to hear the lighthouse horn, we finally heard it from far. After another hour we saw braking waves and only when we were right under them, we saw these really high cliffs. Yey.... we made it. We kept paddling, rounding the spectacular Cape St Mary's with its bird sanctuary, which meant for us thousands and thousands of birds all over, under and around. What a sight!Finally had a shower and laundry after 2 weeks and are ready now for moving forward.Ciao TS & HF
