St. John's Harbour

We were in the vicinity of St. John's, and woke to another lovely, sunny day, so decided to go visit Cape Spear, the most eastern point in North America. But the fog was so thick there that we couldn't even make out either of the two lighthouses, so decided it wasn't worth the effort to climb the hundreds of steps up into the fog. So we went to St. John's harbour. It's always interesting to see all the fishing boats at the east end of the harbour, across from all the office towers.

​Cookie and Ringo went out on the docks to check out the boats...

With the decline of the cod fishery, attention has been focussed on lobsters and crabs. There were stacks of crab pots everywhere...

"Look over there. It looks like they are unloading their catch..."

So they went over to watch...

The bottom of the boat was filled with ice, and hundreds, if not thousands, of live crabs. One of the fishermen was down in the hold hand-picking the crabs and putting them into bins...

"Look, they gave us some lobsters they weren't interested in.."
