(photos by Neil Burgess)June 12, 2007
It was the most idealic weekend out in Caplin Cove, Trinity Bay. Arrived friday evening, spires of icebergs just offshore backlit in pink. My kids headed straight for the brook and, testing the water and finding it deliciously warm, decided on an evening swim. Hot and sunny all weekend, the meadows rippled in their new super-green covering. Mad with bird song. So it wasn't too awful that somehow I missed two paddles in my neck of the woods on the weekend to further complete Kayak Newfoundland & Labrador's Challenge the Avalon.

Looks yummy! I hope you can save a few of those icey beasties til I get there! They're gorgeous. Sounds like it's been a good year for them.
Michael, there were some absolute gorgeous ones - large & spire-like - near where my house 'round the bay is. I'm poisoned I've not been able to get out and paddle around any. Ah well, work & children add up to little paddling. Will be taking Ella out for her first trip though this Sunday.
Beautiful picture Alison. Nice post!
Thanks Mike. But the photos were actually taken by Neil Burgess, so credit to him. And the bergs :)
Alison, we have no 'bergs in Scotland, they are loveley to see thank you.
Hi Douglas - wish I some pictures of the big ones hanging around to show you. Blow your neoprene socks off. But check out Jamie Lewis' and Stan McKenzie's (http://www.morethanyablogginedfor.blogspot.com/) blogs - they've some good iceberg shots. And there's nothing quite like iceberg ice in your scotch Douglas - it literally sizzles and pops! Alison
