After last evening’s rain we awoke to a bright, sunny morning with the thermometer registering 9 ℃ (48 ℉), the coolest day so far.
The high for the day was eventually 14 ℃ (57 ℉) but the wind was cool often up to 30 kph (20 mph) with stronger gusts and never really let up.
We drove the southern shore of Labrador out to Red Bay and it is uniquely beautiful and remarkably barren. At Red Bay we reached 51.7 degrees north latitude. Trees never reach any significant height and the land often looks very tundra-like. 
At Red Bay we explored the Basque Whaling museum and talked with the Parks Canada staff. The site will close for the season in about two days, the more distant Battle Harbour site had closed already.
By the time we had finished at the Red Bay National Historic Site it was lunch time and the Whaler’s Restaurant was conveniently adjacent to the museum. Once again I was able to enjoy east coast fish, cod this time and it was another enjoyable meal.
From there we retraced our path back to Blanc-Salon then beyond along the Quebec side of the north coast of The Strait of Belle Isle until we found rain then reversed our path back to Blanc Sablon. Next we stopped at a grocery store for croissants, cheese, grapes and wine. Dinner! Tomorrow we return to the Newfoundland mainland and St Anthony. After that we begin our return home.
