On the way to…

  1. YQX → Fortune →

    The town the Grand Banks schooner fishery built, just before Fortune, with widow's-walk merchant houses that look more Lunenburg than Newfoundland. Its heritage is the schooner fleet's story.

    Stopping here adds about 0.5 km to that drive (379 km start to finish).
