SUMMER IS OFFICIALLY HERE.
Day 63 – And it arrived here today. It was 35 degrees this morning when we got up, not quite frost-advisory weather as was predicted. We woke up to very dense fog. Discouraged, we decided not to rush off to catch the ferry to Change Islands. By 9:35 a.m. the fog was gone and it was brightly sunny. How nice!

Day 63 – The low was 39 degrees and it rained hard all night. It only reached 42 degrees today, and there’s a frost advisory for tonight. Tomorrow is supposedly the longest day of the year. Does that mean it will clear up and start being warmer then?

Day 61 – The low temperature last night was 37 degrees. When we got up this morning, it was 40 and raining lightly, still foggy. Since it’s raining, we plan to stay at the RV until we leave for an early dinner. Bang Belly is closed Tuesday & Wednesday, and we’re leaving the Island Thursday morning. This will be our last chance to try them for dinner this trip.

Day 60 – It was 38 degrees this morning with dense fog. There’s a folk song we heard in Newfoundland several times when we were here in 2019; it’s called “Grey Foggy Day”. We wonder where they got the idea for this song?! https://youtu.be/uY2nVUXeXzY

Day 59 – It was 41 degrees this morning and not raining. The fog was dense; it was not windy. Not a great day for taking pictures due to the fog, we decided to check out some things on the island (like is there any way we can get a propane tank refilled; where is the dump station; where do we get gasoline; where are the seafood co-ops where we can get local fish to take with us; and most importantly, where is the island’s best restaurant?).
GOOD LUCK, GAIL!
TRAVEL DAY
From: Peyton’s Woods RV Park & Campground, Twillingate, NL.
To: Brimstone Head RV Park, Fogo Island, NL.
Day 58 – It rained last night and was still raining this morning when we got up. At 6:30 a.m. it was 46 degrees. We departed Peyton’s Woods at 9 a.m. after dumping tanks. The temperature had dropped to 41 degrees; it was windy & raining. Certainly not a good day for taking pictures from a ferry.
LAST DAY AT TWILLINGATE.
Day 57 – Surprisingly, the temperature this morning at 6:45 a.m. was 50 degrees. Ever changing! There was no wind, but it rained most of the morning. Tomorrow morning we will be getting up early in order to catch a ferry to our next campground – six nights on isolated Fogo Island, one of several places that we decided were our favorite experiences from our last trip to Newfoundland. We’re looking forward to it!

Day 56 – It was 34 degrees this morning when we got up, not windy but very foggy. The sun came out around 9 a.m. We were out the door before 10 a.m. It was 39 degrees.

Day 55 – It was 38 degrees this morning; it continued to rain all night. When we got up, it was still windy, but the rain had stopped. It was very cloudy out. There is a frost warning for tonight. It’s June, right?
COLD!
Day 54 – It rained hard all night and the low temperature was 33.8 degrees. We have a few errands to run in Twillingate today and will probably go out around lunch time. Right now it’s only 35 degrees and it’s still fairly windy. I don’t think we’ll be doing much more outside than the errands.
