Nortons Cove Cafe

May 10, 2018

Here’s an update from Caroline Swann with some news for the adventurous types who may be heading to northern Newfoundland this summer.

Good Morning from Central Newfoundland!

Icebirg Field There’s a really neat new café along Iceberg Alley that welcomes sailboats in New-Wes-Valley, NL called Norton’s Cove Café.

The café is a deep-fry free zone, serving fresh and traditional meals with an epic view of the ocean. The menu changes depending upon what is available locally and what flavours the chef would like to highlight. They serve breakfast, lunch and supper.

Nortons Cove Cafe InteriorThe café has a wharf for visiting yachts with an allocated a large space on the lower level for sailors to relax and shower. The café is located across the road from Norton’s Cove Studio, a super unique linocut relief print studio and gift shop. They have a wide variety of musical acts that visit the café throughout the year.

Support The Call For 12 New Marine Protected Areas By 2012

I think it’s a given that as a Canadian Yachting reader, you are passionate about Canada’s waters and protecting them from pollution and wildlife threats. Recently, an article in the Globe & Mail presented a way to easily demonstrate our commitment to the waters we love so much.

Back in June, tied to ‘Oceans Day 2011’, the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society challenged the federal government to establish 12 new marine protected areas by the end of 2012.

The Lake of the Woods area comprises one of the natural wonders of North America. At over 70 miles long and wide, with more than 105,000 km of shoreline — which is more than Lake Superior, and more than 1,400 islands it is easy to see why. The lake is found in the provinces of Ontario and Manitoba and the state of Minnesota. The northern end is home to deep, clear water and the rugged Canadian Shield, contrasted to shallow water and sandy bottoms at the southern end. Boaters see wildlife that includes Canadian geese, beavers, deer, bears, common loons, moose, pelicans, and bald eagles.

San Juan Islands

San Juan Islands

Just across the border from Canada’s Gulf Islands – and there’s a story behind that – San Juan is an engaging destination rich in history, culture and opportunities to explore shoreside.

Our first cruise to the San Juan Islands was in 2005, our seventh year of cruising on our wooden sailboat, South Islander. We had heard about how lovely the San Juans were, and even though we have many beautiful anchorages in Canada, we felt it was time to do some exploring south of the border. After all, the San Juans are really just an extension of our own southern Gulf Islands; it’s the international boundary that runs right smack through the middle that makes the San Juans a separate destination.

The Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console is a do-it-all kind of boat with a solid sense of style. Centre console designs have been developed for the southern blue water sport fishing enthusiasts (and this boat would raise fish with the best of them) but the Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console offers far more utility and enjoyment than just fishing.
