Short hike from the Ferry dock on Fogo Island.

In 1969 I worked on the Hydrographic Survey Ship (CSS ACADIA) based out of Carmonville Newfoundland.
I was a hydrographer surveying Hamilton Sound between Fogo Island and the mainland. After 37 years, I have returned to visit the area. I visited Fogo & Change Island and found all the caches on the 2 islands.
Before leaving, I wanted to place a cache on Fogo.
Time was running out and I had to hustle to get a cache hidden before leaving the island.

Cache is approx 200 metres from the Ferry dock at Snug Harbour terminal. It is at the top of the rock ridge.
Cache is a small container with log book, pen and Ontario First Geocache Coin # 400.

September 11 by CentralDMO (5 found) This was my first geocache find! Found it while waiting for the ferry back to the mainland. Had been on Fogo Island for two days doing a photo shoot with photographer and models for Central DMO (non-profit group responsible for promoting tourism in central Newfoundland). If you're ever on the island, be sure to try Growlers Ice Cream and Nicole's Cafe. Great places to eat!
