Nova Scotia to New Brunswick

We had 3 left over lights near Digby, so got up early and made the rounds. Absolutely no problems and got 3 almost identical photos. You can see them at http://www.lighthousesrus.org/Canada/NovaScotia.htm#NS10.

We got an early lunch as check in time for the ferry was 12 and still got there early - with no problems on check in. The ferry arrived at 12 (as advertized) and we started loading about 12:30. At that point, I could find my receipt, but not my ticket. The good news is that while the check in fellow was trying to verify the receipt by radio, we found the ticket. The ferry is your typical ocean going ferry, load from the rear, exit front, or visa versa. In this case, we loaded from the rear.

We got a nice view of Prim Point as we left (but as you can see, the fog was beginning to roll in.

Three (not very exciting) hours later, we are pulling into the harbour at St. John. Or so we think because the engines are slowing, but it's hard to even see the lookout on the front of the boat. The dock was literally beside the boat before you could see it (and the lights were on!)

No problem unloading, once the GPS found the satellites, we found the recommended motel. But, ... it was booked, the next alternative was booked and the hostess was not at all comforting. So, ... we headed west. However, the first motel out of town had the vacancy sign on, and we got a room. Not the 4 star Hilton but clean, with a full kitchenette, and as you can see, Internet.

So, shortly we head for town and see what we can find that looks good to eat at. We do a bunch of lights tomorrow and end up in Lubec Maine and will be at Stephen & Tia's Friday night (God willing and the creek don't rise.)
