Gros Morne visit "Keep on the road!!!"

So ... seeing a small layby we pulled over to take this photo ...

But ... on leaving we (Daniel!) goes for the "exit" rather than following the tracks that we came in on. And whilst saying "lets see if we can get out of here..." rams the Jeep into a wall of icy snow, which slightly raises the front up, and the 4x4 looses traction - STUCK!

After a few minutes of digging using the snowshoes in the back and a piece of timber found near by ... we've got nowhere! Fortunately the next 4x4 coming past stops, and is a very friendly Newfie. On the second attempt he manages to tow us out backwards.

We offered him $20 to buy his daughter (in their 4x4) a New Years present ... but got a very firm "no thanks, we stopped to help!" response. Its the people that make this place!!!

Song: "Jack was every inch a sailor"

Jack Was Every Inch a Sailor
This is one of the songs played at the Screech In.

Now, 'Twas twenty-five or thirty years since Jack first saw the light.
He came into this world of woe one dark and stormy night.
He was born on board his father's ship as she was lying to,
'Bout twenty-five of thirty miles southeast of Bacalieu.

Jack was every inch a sailor,
Five and twenty years a whaler.
Jack was every inch a sailor.
He was born upon the bright blue sea.

When Jack grew up to be a man he went to Labrador.
He fished in Indian Harbour where his father fished before.
On his returning in the fog he met a heavy gale,
And Jack was swept into the sea and swallowed by a whale.

Jack was every inch a sailor,
Five and twenty years a whaler.
Jack was every inch a sailor.
He was born upon the bright blue sea.

The whale went straight for Baffin Bay, 'bout ninety knots an hour,
And every time he'd blow a spray he'd send it in a shower.
Oh now, says Jack unto himself, I'll see what he's about.
He got the whale all by the tail and turned him inside out.

Jack was every inch a sailor,
Five and twenty years a whaler.
Jack was every inch a sailor.
He was born upon the bright blue sea.
