Sailing Notre Dame Bay
Details:	Notre Dame Bay is one of North America's best kept secrets. It exhorts the mariner to "explore me, adore me, get to know every part of me." Located on Newfoundland's northeast coast, it ranges between latitude 49 degrees 45 minutes and longitude 55 degrees and boasts many hundred of miles of captivating coastline. There are literally hundreds of inlets that comprise Notre Dame Bay, a huge bay which extends from Cape St. John in the northwest to Cape Freels in the southeast extremity of the bay, thus excluding the Straight Shore. It is approximately 46 miles from Farewell Head to Cape St. John. Several of the inlets in the bay are fairly large bays within their own right. An analysis of Chart#4520 reveals that there are bays within bays that make up Notre Dame Bay. In this list of bays are Green Bay, Halls Bay, Badger Bay, Seal Bay and the sailor's dream, the Bay of Exploits. In addition to bays, there are also secluded coves and arms that offer spectacular scenery and superb shelter. Complementing the tremendous array of bays and coves are a maze of forested islands offering majestic vistas, hiking adventures and quality anchorages. The Cruising Guide to Notre Dame Bay is a tourism guide and a navigational aid for the marine traveler. For inquiries regarding the Cruising Guide, please email: info@sailingnotredamebay.com

Taking Off, By Pam Pardy Ghent (Member of the Burin Peninsula Regional Council)
Details:	Calgary businessman Harold Warner developed Dynamic Air Shelters out of his passion. Already a skilled hot-air balloonist and renowned balloon designer, Warner began creating promotional shelters out of the product he knew well —balloons. There is a twist to his entrepreneurial tale that makes not only what he does, but where he does it, unique — 100 per cent of the Alberta-based company’s production is done out of two buildings in Grand Bank on the Burin Peninsula.
