I know this looks like we are driving on but we are backing off. We were the last two

to board and the first to get off

TILTING-Look at the foundation, rocks, and wood braced up.

Dwyer Fishing Premise, Tilting-1

This is  Dwyer’s Fishing Premises one of the Historical sites in Tilting.

The fisherman’s couch was used the night before he was going out to fish. It was made purposely uncomfortable

because if he were in his soft comfy bed he would never get out at that of it at that ungodly hour to go out into

the cold!

The  oldest stage in Tilting. A stage is a  building  where fisherman cleaned, salted and stored cod. They

where built over the water having a hole in the floor to toss the fish parts. Well not used for cod

anymore some are still in use today.

Tilting- So far my favorite. It’s like a step back in time.

We were at the wharf one evening, actually at an art show when two men rowed in. They were out

practicing for the punting race coming up the following weekend. It’s a five mile race from Fogo

to Change Island and back. Rowing! The boat is called a punt. They gave Jim a ride(the one with baseball cap).

He also got to row and decided he would never be entering the race.
