King's Cove Harbor

King's Cove /10x10 WHEN CAROL AND I are driving toward Bonavista the first time, we start seeing big signs for the Round Da Bay Inn. At the Bonavista Cafe, we see paintings by the guy who runs the inn, and Miranda, who owns the cafe, points us to a pamphlet about the place, and says that Charlie and Karen, the innkeepers, are really great.  When Carol leaves, I am feeling a little lonely, so after a day of wrestling with the fog - now there's a good book title, "Wrestling with the Fog" ! - I decide to check it out.  (More on the Inn, and Charlie and Karen, below). I have a good night's sleep, feel welcome and safe and like family, and decide to spend a second night there, go back to the Bonavista area again to paint.  Wind is forecasted, but it hasn't started yet when I stop in King's Cove to paint. I love the boats in the harbor, but I know this will be another challenge - boats, water, buildings and a pile of old wood in front of it all.
