Redbay!

Redbay was originally settled by the Basques in 1500 for whaling.

This is a National something something site heritage protected… or whatever its called. Whatever it is it is really pretty. The red sand meets the blue/black ocean and the green rock strewn fields.

It really feels like your on another planet here.

Here is a photo of the Basque ruins:

There is a little museum in Redbay explaining the basque settlements etc.

Here is a photo of a preserved Basque whaling boat that divers found in the bay. There is also a much large Ocean fishing boat that was discovered in the bay. But after having dug it up and studied it they decided to bury it back and cover it with a tarp and a ton of sand??? I asked the question why would they do this and basically no one knew the answer??

Redbay is also where the Tarmac starts up again. And where I begin my journey home via Blanc-Sablon and the Nordik Express Cargo ship.
