Issuma: Labrador Skiff

What strikes me about this Labrador rowing skiff is its strength and its simplicity.  It could be made with a circular saw and a sabre saw.  There isn't a single beveled edge.  The oarlocks are thole pins.  Simple - and effective.

Issuma: Hopedale, Labrador

Hopedale public landing

The mast was repaired (shortened 5cm), rigging modified.  Yann's well-timed vacation ended and he returned to France.  Richard and crew pushed north up the coast, now in Hopedale.  Two more ferry stops Nuantish and Nain before the wild.  Newfoundland Labrador ferry schedules here are tentative: ice may compel change at any time of year,  but especially summer when a lot of ice floats south.
