Burgeo to Grey River!

Very wet and windy day plus the ferry isn't using a schedule today. So it's a "Sit around and wait" kind of day.

To kill some time before the ferry leaves we had some lunch in one of the restaurants here in town. I got to talking to one of the waitresses and found she has never been off the island and only to St John's and Cornerbrook for that matter. I asked what she likes about living in Burgeo and she said the peace and quiet of small town living. She has a son that lives and works in Alberta but has never gone for a visit. I also asked what drives the economy of Burgeo and her answer was Alberta. Most every family has a member that has employment away from home. Will this keep the town viable for the long term is a tough question to ask.

One and only picture so far today and not a ferry to be seen. All part of the adventure I suppose.
