Yes, I would imagine so too. But in this case, one and a half
time zones have been left out! Terry Fox knew where to start his
cross-Canada trip..St. John's Nfld. I do admit though, that
beginning a paddle trip in Newfoundland would be very problematic.
As far as I know, there's only been one successful NS to NFLD
paddle crossing, that having been done this summer past by a 60+
year old man who not only went solo, but told no one he was doing
it. Yow.


Last summer two of my friends were paddling in Nfld. -- up in the
Northwest corner, up by that Viking site. (I forget the name right
now.)

They were tempted, for about five minutes, to paddle across to
Labrador one afternoon. Only the thought of the currents and their
lack of maritime charts for the Labrador coast deterred them.
(Probably for the best.) But it _is_ a short distance, relatively
speaking.
