Day 1 Port aux Basques to Codroy Pond 77k

The weather could not have been any better with blue skies and no wind all the way, although the heat slowed us down a little in the last couple of hours. Found a perfect spot to camp on Codroy Pond on a secluded beach, soon enjoying Cathy’s moose chilli and a few laughs as we fine-tuned our camp setup.
