Day 19

Last full day on the `The Rock'! Had brunch with Derrick & Sharon Cove at their house in Maddox Bay. Cozy house he has retired to. Big project finishing the basement, but he has nothing but time now.
Made a side trip to Cape Spear. The farthest eastern piece of land in north america. Weather was cold, rainy & foggy. Next stop going east is England!
Traveled across the width of the Avalon Peninsula from St. John's to next ferry stop in Argentia. Weather turned warmer and sunny. No rooms available in Placentia or surroundings. Sounds like big projects from oil giants including Husky Oil going on. Continued down the3 bay to St. Brides and got the last room in a bed & breakfast inn (CapeWay Inn). Spotlessly clean & comfortable with laundry so my wife can provide her husband with clean clothes!
