Hi guys,

Thank you for the information on the BELLA DESGAGNES. I will be in Blanc-Sablon so I will be waiting for it! I hope it doesn't arrive after dark or at least will stay until morning.

Update (2013-04-11, 7h00)


Not sure if the information is correct but the BELLA DESGAGNES is of the coast of Corner Brook, Newfoundland. Judging from that position I would say that it will take between 10-12 hours to get to Blanc Sablon. That it how long it took me to take the ferry from Corner Brook to Blanc Sablon two weeks ago.

Hi Marcel,

I went this morning to the dock at about 8AM and the ship was not there. If the tracking information is accurate, it will take another 4-5 hours for it to arrive. That is good since I am at work right now so I will be able to go after work. I promiss to post pictures tonight even if I have to use a flash!

Here are a few pictures. It arrived at 19h30 and about 50 people were on the wharf waiting for it in cold weather.

Great Steve!
Keep track of her peregrinations.
She is a special ship with many features.
And your, now, Lower-North-Shore communities rely on her keeping her schedules!

Many great photos to do in that area; although ships would be scarce.
Icebergs or rather bergy-bits are of photographic interest!
I once had second hand interest in fisheries there and travelled 40 years ago for boat building support initiatives.
Traditional fishing operations ( fish-traps) are special, and worth documenting.
The long-boats they pilot in the fog through rocky shoals are also special breed.

Thanks Paul,

At first I was discouraged when I thought of the possibility of it arriving in the darkness. It was a bit more challenging but I am kind of happy that it came in the dark because of the dramatic effect it gave.

ps. I am not sure 'you're the man' can be translated. Perhaps... 'toi tu l'as... man!' lol
