Hadas & Tomer in Newfoundland latest update

Ok, so we have been paddling along the eastern coast of Newfoundland forthe last couple of weeks, and it has been a very demanding paddle. Most of the way is big open crossings in wind, rain , fog and some more fog, but this is what it's like on this coast. Some of the days we think...why are we here at all???Yesterday was maybe our scariest crossing, not the longest but thick fog the whole way paddling only on a compass bearing, our eyes not moving off the compass, and only after 6 hours we actually started hearing in the far distance the fog horn from the headland lighthouse. So, now we are stopping every few minutes listen exactly where it's coming from but still just ahead of us, we were so exhausted and by the time we finally saw a small view of the headland we were so happy, we could relax and take some pictures, go for a pee and continue thru the big seas exploding onto Cape St Francis headland. Wow, what a day. Then heading to the nearest town in the fog, expecting as usual to get into the safe harbour, but getting disappointed again because this was the first place there was NO harbour and all we saw were exploding seas against the rocks. Wow... how depressing...finally we saw a very steep slipway between the waves and after a small pray to god, we managed to get ourselves off the water on to safe dry land.Oooo man!!!The only highlight of that miserable day were a pack of minke whales that passed right under us, we almost flipped from shock of course but, wow!!!Today we just paddled 25 km into the capital and now are strolling theStreet’s and getting a rest on dry land. It looks like there are some good restaurants around so we are going to check at least one of them out.Ciao for now
