The title of this painting reflects three ideas. First, notice the fog bank on the horizon and the ripples beginning to form on the water. These are indicators that the wind is about to change to blow in from the ocean. When this happened, the warm sunny day is about to get colder. Also, this scene is from 1991, one year before the cod moratorium began. At the time, no one here had any idea of the devastating changes that were about to take place in the inshore fishery. It would be the end of a lifestyle that had been enjoyed here for generations. Finally this fishing stage, along with nearly every other fishing stage in the harbour, was destroyed by a severe winter storm on Christmas Eve 2010—erasing the few remaining signs of a once thriving fishing industry.
