Day 22/May 25, 2016 Dungeon Provincial Park at Cape Bonavista, NL to Little Catalina, NL Woke up this morning and looked out the window. Two icebergs were gone (big ones) and there was a thick roll of fog coming off the water. The foghorn at the Cape Bonavista lighthouse was sounding off in the distance. Probably the pictures won’t do it the justice it deserves. Next stop was Elliston. We spent the day between Ellison, Sandy Cove, and Maberly. Elliston is home to a puffin colony and has many root cellars cut into the sides of hills…135 approximately. There are some that are in use today but probably not many. Puffins unfortunately none of them where on the area where we could walk to…last time they were so they were maybe 12 feet away. This time much further. Eight icebergs in view and some bergy bits as well. There is a walking trail in Maberly and David was into doing a long walk; I was not. It was a linear trail that ended in Little Catalina 16.5 km away. David came back bushed; not the leisurely walk he thought. Sorry I missed it…he is wearing hot packs as I write. Unfortunately I have not yet made a full body pack; he misses his hot tub. We were going to park overnight in Elliston but decided instead to move on as it was only 5:30. It was decided to chance it and see what Little Catalina would bring us. We headed off to find the trailhead for the other end of the walk from Maberly. We are staying here for the night…with a scenic view of water.
