Hey Paul.
Please clarify your route. Will you take the Blanc-Sablon to Ste Barbe ferry to NFLD? And when you leave will you take the Port-aux Basque to North Sydney ferry, or the one from Argentia to North Sydney?
I have never been on the roads along the north shore of the St Lawrence, so I can't help there. It has been 5 years since we drove from Port-aux Basque to St John's, and the road was just like any other--in good shape.

Beware of the winds in the Wreckhouse area north of Port-aux-Basque. Click here for the hourly weather forecast. FYI, truckers have a healthy respect for the winds here and rightly so. Click here for more info.
The "Rock" is awesome!
