Four weeks along the South Coast of Newfoundland aboard the “Concertina” from mid-July to mid-August 2006. |
 |
The schooner “Concertina” built in 1963 is a 28’ 10” vessel designed by Murray Peterson. In 2000 she became a member of the Nova Scotia Schooner Association fleet. |
 |
She has a Yanmar diesel that saw frequent service during this trip and was especially helpful in allowing us to make it into and out of the fjord-like bays along this stretch of coast (as well as the Great Bras d’Or entrance). |
 |
Three of us comprised the ship’s crew. Peter Moore, who hails from Pawlet, Vermont joined us for the first portion of the trip. |
 |
John Zuck, from Halifax, a frequent shipmate aboard the schooner, is a crafty crib champion when not tending to ship handling, navigation and expert galley duty. |
 |
Ed Porter hails from Lunenburg where he spends his spare time looking after the maintenance of his 43-year-old vessel. Ed is at the helm as the schooner sails away from Henry Fuller’s Cape Breton Boatyard in Baddeck at the beginning of this cruise. |
