that may be cutting it a bit tight but probably doable

It appears I'm not up to snuff on my homework.Trains and ships from sept 
iles? where does that leave the Rovers?

Good one!
I was thinking :
Big tour. To Baie -Comeau,
  up to lab City and Goose bay,
Boat to Cartwright, drive down to the other end
Boat to Newfie, down the north shore and then to St John's
( haven't seen that part of the rock)
Boat to Sydney , over to Yarmouth
boat to Bar Harbor and then overland back home

I may be underestimating mileages and ferry budgets here

Is there a way to get from blanc Sablon back to sept iles or something???

I am really mostly interested in the Labrador wilderness

There is talk about connecting the cartwright road with Goose bay at one 
end and with the north shore road at the other , but that might be a 
while and the nativer are not too happy about this prospect either.
