In 1957, Farley Mowat shipped out aboard one of Newfoundland’s famous coastal steamers, tramping from outport to outport along the southwest coast. The indomitable spirit of the people and the bleak beauty of the landscape would lure him back again and again over the years. In the process of falling in love with a people and a place, Mowat also met the woman who would be the great love of his life.
A stunningly beautiful and talented young artist, Claire Wheeler insouciantly climbed aboard Farley’s beloved but jinxed schooner as it lay on the St. Pierre docks, once again in a cradle for repairs, and changed both their lives forever. This is the story of that love affair, of summers spent sailing the Newfoundland coast, and of their decision to start their life together in Burgeo, one of the province’s last remaining outports. It is also an unforgettable portrait of the last of the outport people and a way of life that had survived for centuries but was now passing forever.
Affectionate, unsentimental, this is a burnished gem from an undiminished talent.
I was inside my vessel painting the cabin when I heard the sounds of a scuffle nearby. I poked my head out the companionway in time to see a lithesome young woman swarming up the ladder which leaned against Happy Adventure’s flank. Whining expectantly, the shipyard dog was endeavouring to follow this attractive stranger. I could see why. As slim and graceful as a ballet dancer (which, I would later learn, was one of her avocations), she appeared to be wearing a gleaming golden helmet (her own smoothly bobbed head of hair) and was as radiantly lovely as any Saxon goddess. I invited her aboard, while pushing the dog down the ladder.
“That’s only Blanche,” I reassured my visitor. “He won’t bite. He’s just, uh . . . being friendly.”
“That’s nice to know,” she said sweetly. Then she smiled . . . and I was lost.

Friday morning was warm and bright. It seemed wonderful to be having so much fine weather in Labrador, and not a fly or mosquito as yet. The one nuisance we had met was mice or lemmings. They had been busy with my hat in the night, and when I came to put it on that morning I found there was a hole eaten in the crown and a meal or two taken out of the brim. There seemed to be thousands of them, and they ran squealing about everywhere, great fat fellows, some of them as big as grey squirrels. The ground was so perforated with their holes that it reminded one of a porous plaster.

To see some of the most spectacular geography in the world -- including a mountain that confirms the theory of continental drift and one of the highest waterfalls in North America -- follow any of the trails in A Hiking Guide to the National Parks and Historic Sites of Newfoundland. This handy guide gives detailed information about the hiking trails in Gros Morne and Terra Nova national parks and in five national historic sites: Signal Hill, in St. John's, where Marconi received the world's first transatlantic wireless message; Cape Spear, the most easterly point in North America; Castle Hill, the ruins of a 300-year-old French fort and settlement; Port au Choix, an important Archaic Maritime Indian burial ground; and L'Anse aux Meadows, the millennium-old Viking settlement that was the first site on UNESCO's World Cultural List. The guide includes information on more than 50 trails: length (varying from 1 to 18 km), difficulty, and estimated hiking time, plus historical and geological vignettes, trail tales, and local lore. Trails-at-a-Glance charts in each section and a map for each trail enable hikers to plan their excursions. There are several pages of entertainingly presented information about each historic site, and Barbara Maryniak's easy-to-understand explanations of the natural forces that formed the national parks will enrich even the shortest hike.
