The travel time on the ferry from Port aux
Basques to North Sydney, Nova Scotia will take approximately 6 hours; plenty of
time to rest, explore and update the ride report. My only concern is how choppy the waters are
going to be; it’ll either be a pleasurable experience or a complete barf-o-rama
extravaganza. We’ll soon see.
Aboard the MV Caribou; a gulfspan class
icebreaking ropax ferry
Entering service in 1986, the MV Caribou
can carry 1,200 passengers, 370 automobiles or 77 tractor trailers, and 106
crewmembers
Off we go!
I better enjoy the scenery while the waters are calm within the
harbor.
Weather looks promising; we might be
alright after all
A lighthouse to guide the way
One last glimpse of Port aux Basques. So long Newfoundland! Thanks for the memories!
We enjoyed the complimentary entertainment
that was provided. We watched the movie
The Bucket List and the latest James Bond installment Quantum of Solace.
A little caramel pudding to liven things up
Live music was played at the Killick Lounge
Trying on the latest fashion at the
souvenir shop
Checking to see if the GPS works…looks like
we’re using maps from here on in
Uh oh, weather not looking so good…
…but thank goodness the waters were calm.
It was a pleasurable experience after all.
