Tickle Cove, a small community in
Bonavista Bay South, Newfoundland, has a story to tell, one of survival and
unforeseen strengths necessary to keep one step ahead of the inconsistencies of
a tormented sea. In this community filled with interesting characters great and
small, life was lived to the fullest with little taken for granted.
Tickle Cove continues to fight for its
existence. Those who have studied, read, listened to, and yearned for the calm
of the disappearing Newfoundland outport will find inner peace through the
thoughts and memories of the elders of this community. This is a story told from
the heart and treated with the delicate hands of eternal appreciation.
Captain John Russell is idolized in
Tickle Cove and is in constant demand by writers and researchers soliciting
glimpses into the past. He was born in Tickle Cove in 1906 and, while raised in
Red Cliff, he always considered Tickle Cove his home. Captain Russell’s story is one of adventure in
the days when endurance was expected and loyalty was given to those who deserved
it.
