Oh No! We Missed Our Ferry to Newfoundland! | Trans-Labrador Hwy. Overlanding Adventure - E.7
We did a little off-roading to get to a camping spot with out off-road teardrop trailer when we reached Blanc-Sablon, Québec but we blew it the next morning and missed our ferry. We were then wind-bound as the ferry didn’t come back due to heavy winds and waves.
Early morning in the pitch back and driving resin the next day we got on. We explored Sea Caves and beautiful scenery as we made our way down the Northern Peninsula, exploring a side trail and finally making it to Portland Creek Outfitters. We found a place to camp that night and cooked up Atlantic Salmon over the fire and hoped the winds would die so we would be able to board a float plane the next day.

[@freywayne6574]

Well to be honest my favourite parts are of the boys when they smile. Hudson ain't afraid of no dirt.

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

@@freywayne6574 I would have to agree and no he isn't!

[@jeffbartlett4551]

Drone video of the waterfall!

[@jeffbartlett4551]

…and the sweet spirits of Wesley and Hudson! Edifies my soul.

[@chuckbeattyo]

@@jeffbartlett4551 Ditto. Missed the ferry, but drone video'd the incredible falls 10:48

[@andremorneault]

We should all smile like Westley! I admire you guys.

[@Doreana48501]

He is so adorable isn't he I could just squeeze him with hugs😅❤

[@annaflores8491]

I LOVE WHEN HUDDIE SAYS LIKE DAD, YEEEAAH🥰 Too Adorable 😊

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Hash, it really is!! Thanks for watching

[@kimberleydowdall7795]

Great channel and incredible parents!~ Thank you for sharing, love the drone shots!~

[@ranchsailor721]

So God protected you and your family from bad seas. Thank you God Adonai Amen

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

I think in general I seem to be blessed.

[@anthonyrstrawbridge]

✌️♥️👍👍👍 This is really fun. Plays out like I'm there with you. Looking forward to seeing the new episode.

[@robinp13946]

Tory is so Beautiful! When she was on the ferry with Huddy! That was a Beautiful shot! I look forward to your videos like my favorite adventure family sitcom ❤️

[@Nannygoat]

Hudson is just the cutest walking now. Wesley is so handsome and can see he interacts getting the best life!

[@doreenrussell8304]

One of the best shows of all.

[@marianfrances4959]

My favorite part was realizing how much I like each of you, including North! 👍🇨🇦😎🐾🌊

[@jeandorsey7991]

Love watching this! As always with a smile on my face. 😀 Thank you!

[@johnhine8725]

Thank you to you and your family for letting us see your adventures. I can’t get over how you always stay positive. Beautiful video content!

[@landthatilove6556]

I had a humbling experience with the ferry as well, when we were there in 2002. In the comfort of my home in Indiana I made the reservation to go from Glace Bay NS to Channel Port Aux Basques. Easy peasy! I didn't make the return reservation at that time, because I figured I could make it once we arrived from Glace Bay. Well it was August, and apparently everybody and their neighbor was making that return trip. The only date they could give me was the day after I was supposed to be back home and at work. 😬🤦🏼‍♀️ BUT.... We could sit in the line and wait for an opening. Which is what we did. And I made it back home in time to get back to work. I'm sooooo ready to go back to Newfoundland! It's so beautiful! 🇨🇦❤️🦌

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Oh man, bummer. Ya, it’s kind of a panic enduring situation. I think the islanders are fairly used to it but some people wouldn’t live on Newfoundland for that reason alone.

[@ws9386]

It's hard to pick one favorite part of these videos. I do enjoy watching you and Tory working together and the boys. That's a great video shot of Wesley in the chair and waving at the fire, he looks really happy there. I was thinking that drone footage of the falls probably didn't really do justice to the steepness of the rocky sides. I'm mostly a silent watcher of your videos but I enjoy the adventures. You guys are great parents.

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks very much and I appreciate the comment. I think I really loved those sea caves as they’re nut typically the kind of thing I ever get to see. Glad you like the videos

[@donthomas8724]

That was some great video that you captured when you missed the ferry. Keep up the great work.

[@tWoforgamenot1]

i am telling he's another jim :) a little 1)

[@TCB77]

“That’s Canada” Jim lol😂 priceless. Anyways it’d be Ireland straight across the other way. Wicked adventure guys!

[@lovegodlovefreedom2535]

Spectacular views!! Be safe out there, Bairds! ❤️✅🙏🏽💯

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Will do, thanks a lot

[@Doreana48501]

Newfoundland my beloved home province❤ Where barely an inch of soil can say it haven't seen the bottom of my hiking boots Yeeeaah !!!!!😂

[@bettylouledrew70]

What a wonderfully positive vacation! Reminds me of our family vacations ions ago.Thank you Jim Baird!

[@mariedmitrieff6829]

Great video. Makes awesome memories for the children to watch when they get older. My favorite memories growing up were, when I went camping and fishing with my dad in the 1960ies and 1970ies. Traveling with my dad was so much fun and the best times of my life.. Now at age 65 I enjoy watching your travels with your beautiful family. Brings back memories of my travels with my dad. Enjoy your travels. ❤👍

[@normarobertson3909]

WOW, the waterfalls were amazing. You sure captured the beauty of that rugged landscape . But, I have to say little Wesley's smile brightens my day, and when Huddie lifts that little arm and says , Yeahhhh, it's priceless. I'm looking forward to the next episode 👍💕💕👍

[@zeldarobinson3382]

What incredible scenery.love the waterfalls what a beautiful country we live in and to enjoy this journey with you and the boy's are so good and Hudson is sure enjoying the water puddles,reminds me of my son when he was little very adventurous. Can't wait for our journey to continue and we make plans and God has other plans for us and he knows what is ahead so no worries you will be where you wish in his time not ours .stay safe and healthy.love the show . Love light and peace Namaste 💕

[@martinberrigan2462]

I just started following you lately but I felt the hardship in the want to cross to Newfoundland and the Time gap.The Love for the children it's breath-taking you are both beautiful,giving,loving people.Everyone is so so happy I cheered when you cheered when you arrived on The Rock.Great scenery,wow!Newfoundland,entering straight onto The Great Northern Peninsula,kid's gonna Love the Mud Hut's and the ocean right on your fingertip's.Thou I'm not even sure Lance aux Meadows still happen's,I was watching you on T.V where you cannot write a comment,I ran to my computer just to comment-,the Love and excitement just got me big time.St.John's is home.Ok back to the T.V,if Lance aux Meadows got dropped I'm gonna drop!

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks a lot for tuning in and Newfoundland was everything we'd tought it would be and more.

[@jeffwisemiller3590]

@ 17:33 NEW FOUD-N LAND? Must not be awake yet. Sorry Tori, I blame Jim for that. Awesome time so far.

[@robertmauter6493]

Jim, as always love you over all adventures, and how you bring the family to boot, I think it’s wonderful myself, I may have mentioned this awhile back that me and my buddy took our motorcycles up there this past July, after planning for three years to do so, we were at the bluffs where you and Torie were at, but I have to say Jim, tro of the biggest must do things is Gros Morne, and les and meadows was a huge must, extremely worth the haul up there, very well worth going there, lots to do and see up there and maybe one day get back there, we came up through Nova Scotia and boarded the marine Atlantic ferry, Gros Morne was incredible, we took the boat out, what a place, well can’t wait to see your next video, they can’t come fast enough, thanks to you and your family for sharing all. Robert down in Alabama

[@tammydee9700]

Always enjoy seeing the boys and the falls were outstanding! Great memories and omg Huddy is minnie Jim lol. Love watching this series and the many others I've watched. Nothing less than spectacular! Ty for all of your hard work and dedication 😊👏👏👏

[@user-to1to7ck8v]

[@michaelzlab]

Glad you made the canoe. Favorite part beside the scenery was your excitement for first time in Newfoundland. It is exciting for firsts. Glad you were able to make it.

[@karenw8481]

Love the whole series. I enjoy seeing the different terrain. It takes so much energy to camp with kids as young as yours. You two are such hard workers. Is there a video on how you and Tori met? Tori is amazing.

[@dougegbert42]

I love your Dog North. What a great name!

[@campingadventureswithcarl9493]

Absolutely amazing drone shots- thanks for sharing

[@coryrouse969]

Thanks!

Gorgeous Scenery! Think of how many Nor’easter’s have battered that coast! Great video guys! Love it. Cool music as well.

[@richardcontant4659]

You have BEAUTIFUL kids.

[@brentwall6959]

Boys are growing up and loving it good on ya two 🇨🇦

Great video!

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks a lot!

[@miked7666]

Great Canadian family adventure, thanks for letting us in.

[@bethstewart1319]

I agree except for the foul language, really too bad. Eliminate that and more children would be allowed to watch.

[@tWoforgamenot1]

hug.

[@bulderdoos]

Jim, you must be a Viking descendant man. Looking good on the bow of the Quajak.

[@adrianlois6284]

💪🌞good lucky

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks!

[@SJC49]

So good you missed the ferry. Beautiful day for crossing! Best thing about Nfld - the people! Did you get screeched? And Tori, you’re looking amazing!

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks a lot and ya, the people are great. No screeching though unfortunately

[@GreyGhost.]

SUPERB family. Cheers from Cornwall, England.

[@downunderdan]

Missing the ferry gave us footage we may not have seen and resulted in a smoother trip - win/win with a grin. Love seeing you guys getting out there and 'doing it', cheers

[@henryhawk978]

Enjoyed this video, watched most last nite and finished tonight. Look forward to seeing the next one!PADDLE SAFE!

[@pantymelt]

Yaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Newfoundland! I appreciate you and your lovely family sharing all the fun with us, I learn a hell of a lot from you guys aye? Yaaaaaa! So glad you still made it! Haha.

[@peterwhite9261]

Great to see some familiar places and to meet you guys.

[@stuartkcalvin]

Nice guys, following this series - love it.

[@patbeaudoin4237]

You guys probably aren't alone in making the time zone mistake I most likely would have done the same lol.Glad you made it on the second ferry.Love the video. 🙂🇨🇦❤👍👍👍👍

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Ya, it’s confusing as the time zone is an hour and a half different just in the other side of the hill but then the ferry in Quebec is in Newfoundland time

[@freywayne6574]

Just think, if you had made the Ferry, we wouldn't have had the chance to see that beautiful water falls. Both of the boys are good travellers and yes Wesley seems to be in his Glory when pout on the trail. Thanks for sharing..

[@JasonMcCann841]

Great adventure for sure! Welcome to the rock. 😉

[@robertmauter6493]

Hey Jim, yeah I know your busy with family, sometimes just like to share words, no your hands are full, was really cool you were up there I guess maybe when we were up there, anyway, again, I enjoy your videos very much. Thanks again for sharing with all of us.

[@SwampDonkey530]

The newt suit lol, that’s hilarious 😂

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Haha, it is and it works great too

[@davemayers9342]

From coast to shining coast, Canadian Ferries are a joke, hahaha. Always expect the unexpected when dealing with any ferries up here.

[@kjf63]

Same on the West Coast, hate dealing with ferries to Vancouver Island

[@ifonlyseethrumyeyes8957]

Wow, now it's an adventure! thank you

[@angler2058]

Looks like a great time.👍🖐

[@randijewer7099]

Now I have to wait another week again :) Luv the series

[@mikerenshaw7867]

Stoked to see you guys get on the Ferry! :)

[@lindavanaalst5634]

Enjoyed this episode also. Love watching you with the kids👍

[@lorilove4706]

Ss you missed your ferry, but at leat the scenery is gorgegous! P.S. lovin the road music.

[@deirdretobin3672]

Hello from Ireland, we are the closest to Newfoundland from this side of the Atlantic! Great viewing

[@519jbone519]

Awesome seeing you guys in Newfoundland! I live in Newfoundland on the east coast 😎

[@davidbrown7932]

Jim and amazing family, you guy are all inspiring always praying for continued strength for you all , I feel at home watching videos as I can relate so much . Blessings 🙏

[@firminshepherd4834]

Love the content, and the music! Great adventure, impressive that you find time to film as well. Great work, guys.

[@juliamadison5701]

Nice family time..wow those falls were quite something..incredible.

[@CreationDust777]

Good stuff. You're living the dream

[@Krondarg]

Lmao, I too first learned about time zones hopping around on ferries in the Martimes and Quebec! Love the travels, guys!

[@livelife4471]

Well, that is a pretty interesting trip you are on. It has been interesting to follow along and see some of Canada that I haven't seen.

[@nancederholm6341]

1 mistake on all your adventures pretty amazing. Even though your heart is in your stomach

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks a lot! It turns out the ferry has a super rough ride over so I imagine Tori would have gotten seasick and been terrified.

[@kristingrounds4163]

Wow that is some beautiful country over there! The waves looked pretty awesome...this is a great trip so far thanks for sharing!

[@lindapetersen1800]

All of it was for me Guys the whole part was Favorite of mine!!! Hudson has the hand and voice of his Father and Weslyn has His eyes of Father's also !!! Jimbo you might want to look up @Al Chafe my back step in Newfoundland he has a channel and 1 time on Live Chat he had the Storm almost looked like that one it was BAD !!! Watched it for a couple of hours !!! Watch a lot of channels now !!! But I do like to watch you Ted SHAWN and Meadowlark Logging homes a lot !!! Got cooking ones also!!!

[@sherrierifenberg2199]

Jim and Tori…look at the seas and then count your blessings…not a good scenario for boating or “ferrying”! Been there done that…better to be a land lubber this time! Enjoy your family time!

[@tWoforgamenot1]

will be looking ty !

[@ripplesandleaves]

We really enjoyed our similar trip to Newfoundland, so watching your adventures is an absolute treat! Thank you so much for recording and sharing it. Really sorry about the ferry. That happened to us too in Scotland. We were crushed. You both handled it so well compared to us! 😂

[@pamalvestad3848]

WoW WOW amazing countryside tour through the eye of the drone. Thank You so very much for sharing 😊

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

You’re very welcome! The wind was so strong we were lucky we’re were able to even use it

[@user-yw4hj4hp1g]

Such a cool trip I feel like a lucky man having a farm in the south of France,but you top it all! Thanks for sharing

[@texasbrat7725]

Love watching all 4 of you!!! The falls is absolutely stunning!!!

[@coryrouse969]

Not to sure if I have a favorite, I enjoy the whole video, if I had to choose it would be the family sitting around and enjoying the peace & quiet and watching the little one explore.

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Nice, thanks a lot and ya, that’s one of my favourite parts of these trips in general.

[@janetking2113]

Welcome to Newfoundland. Hope you all enjoy your stay!

[@RileysAventures]

😊😊😊

[@suezaple4950]

That is some pretty wild looking scenery fantastic views , the falls was gorgeous as for the ferry that would be stressful. Happy you folks and the kiddies made it over to Newfoundland it really is an epic place looking forward to the next part of the series and happy you have brought us with you.

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks a lot and ya, it is very rugged with very few trees along the cost.

[@suezaple4950]

so cool

[@ralphwatten2426]

Hour and a half difference in time between the Provinces. Yeah, that could be a game changer alrighty. Thanks for taking us along!

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Especially when the ferry runs on Newfoundland time even though it’s in Quebec

[@judyrobinson9556]

Sounds like it was a good thing you missed your first ferry, being rough waters. I had a rough ferry ride once and it was no fun. Ferry boat was tipping half way over with the huge waves .Scary. Looked like you had a real nice day for your ferry ride. The scenery was beautiful as always. Huddy had a good time splashing around in that puddle. Wesley had his cheery face on, except for the one time crying. He cant tell you what's wrong, so makes it difficult, but he's a good boy and so cute. The family adventure continues! Sounds like you'll have to wait for calmer winds to get on the plane. What a great adventure! My favorite part was the ferry ride.

[@daveb.713]

Favorite part..other than all..Huddy as the Gortons fisherman in the puddles🤣😂🤣😂

[@tWoforgamenot1]

Heahhhh :)

[@GratefulTrekker]

Such a beautiful falls the wanderlust in me wants to paddle that lake now... Sorry you missed your ferry

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Ya that was a number and the winds meant it didn’t come back that afternoon so there was a big backlog the following morning and we almost didn’t make it on then either. That afternoon the winds picked up something fierce for two days so we are lucky we got across when we did.

[@Ryan-hw3xp]

Thank you for such Great Videos! I hope we run into each other one day, beer and steaks on me. God Bless
