First Stop "Bay Bulls!"

                                                                                          
Bay Bulls NewFoundland!

 Located about 30 min. Southeast of St. Johns. Was to be our first stop on our tour of the Avalon Peninsula! 
 
 It was here that we would actually take to the "Seas", and board a Tour Boat to view, Icebergs, and Puffins.  It was too early in the season for the Whales to have arrived yet!

The Tour company that we choose to tour with  was " Gatheralls."

 Pamela thought that this would be a good choice, as the vessel was a Catamaran , and these boats are very stable in the water and for those folks who have not developed their "Sea Legs" so to speak this vessel would provide a smoother, ride with less rocking than other boats might offer. 

It was an excellent choice even if I must say so myself!

  The voyage was smooth, even though the waters had a slight ripple. And the Crew was Excellent!  And we saw Icebergs up close, and Puffins! And at the end of the voyage they even pointed us toward our first "Fresh from the Docks .... Lobster Dinner!"


Our Tour Vessel at dock.
        Of Corse "Ruffus" didn't take Pamela's word for it and had to check out the Pilot House himself. Fortunately for us, he approved and we would soon be off on our first Adventure!
