MDK, Yes we took the ferry from Blanc Sablon to St. Barbe.
We started in Southern Ontario, stopped in several spots in Quebec, sea kayaked with the whales on the St. Lawrence, then headed east and north, through Labrador , then Newfoundland.14,000 km., 11 weeks.
Donna, if you are still following make sure you make ferry reservations well in advance. We were storm stranded in the Codroy Valley for 6 days at the end of August and beginning of September delayed our return from NL.They were taking the people with the reservations made earliest first after they cancelled 3 ferries from Port Aux Basques. We didn't book until we returned from St. Pierre- Miquelon and had to wait for the backlog to clear.

Awesome Brian. Thanks for the mini-synopsis of your trip. We've been thinking of doing NL but the ferry ride from N Sydney to P Aux B would be problematic for my copilot. She doesn't float well. We've been hoping QC would fix 389 as the TLH gets closer to being completely paved. It's probably the only workable route for us there and back.
So you visited France too? Pretty cool when you don't have to leave North America to do it?
Thanks again for the info and advice about ferry booking if we had to use it. We were in N Sydney in 2015 on an east coast tour and got as far as the docks but couldn't complete the deal. So we research and wait to see how the overland route to/from Bland Sablon is progressing. We'll get there. Eventually.
Coincidentally we're in SW Ontario too. Near PoHo, MI.
