Looking for some truly spectacular East Coast scenery from your sailboat, but youre tired of hitting the usual spots? Hungry for a change of pace? Heres the ticket: Try the excellent but challenging sailing opportunities offered right off the Atlantic Coast in Eastern Canadas Newfoundland.
Off Newfoundlands coast, youll sail between limestone islands and into the giant fjords while watching whales glide and spout and exotic wildlife keeping house alongside the usually rocky, windy shore.
You dont have to be in lumberjack-shape to take on these waters, but after all, since you wanted a change of pace, why not make it a little more strategic than usual? If you really want to work on your technical sailing skills, these chilly Atlantic waters certainly wont leave you disappointed. Plus, youll enjoy the local color only Newfoundland can offer, including the lilting dialect and the cuisine that you wont find anywhere else.
The best times to set sail in Newfoundland are sometimes tricky to get a handle on. Because the weather at this particular high latitude of the world often changes so quickly, leaving you in the ice in mid-July, for example, its best to consult with a seasoned boat captain or sailing expedition guide before heading out. In fact, that very changeable weather is a prime draw for many adventurous sailors, whether theyre renting a sailboat or cruising along on a guided tour.
Should you decide to peruse Newfoundlands moody coast, go fully prepared, and do a lot of research before setting sail; every day is different, exciting, and guaranteed to be something like youve never experienced before. But also be aware that when at sea, just because youre at the helm of the sailboat doesnt always mean youll be in charge; in Newfoundland, sailing takes on a whole new meaning.
