With everything securely wrapped up for the winter we pointed the Dodge Grand Caravan at St John’s and pressed the gas pedal for 4 hours. Ted and Karen had graciously invited us to stay with them for a couple of nights and we rolled up there at 8.30pm. Once again they were great and welcoming hosts.
Rain was forecast so we headed early to Signal Hill for a walk around the cliffs and battlements before the deluge. The deluge didn’t arrive but we had a lunch date with Steve (our yacht surveyor) at his wife’s cafe on Stavanger Drive. Second Cup is a great cafe and we spent a couple of hours chatting about boats, people and coffee. We are hoping Steve will join us for some sailing next summer.
