Howling wind, pouring rain and choppy waves hampered our departure from Newfoundland’s Quirpon Island Lighthouse Inn. Owner Ed English’s large zodiac to shuttle guests to and from the island was being repaired so he substituted a small fishing outboard boat. This meant a longer trip with fewer guests on board. On the day of our departure, twenty two guests were returning to destinations scattered around Newfoundland or beyond.
