June 15th: We started this adventure on May 1st, so today is our 46th day. It's been interesting, entertaining, educational, and occasionally hectic with many more adventures to come.
It's raining lightly on Grand Manan but the fog has lifted, and I can finally see the ocean. I am sitting at the kitchen table of my vacation cottage in Seal Cove, near the southern end of the island. Sparky is napping - again. I think I am wearing out my travel buddy.
This morning we drove to North Head, to see the lighthouse at Swallow Tail and Net Rocks. The ferry happened to be passing at the same time. Even though we were on the ferry yesterday, the fog was so thick I couldn't see the shoreline, or even the boat that we were on. The boat's captain continually activated the ship's fog horn during the entire voyage, and for the first time ever, Sparky was shaking with nerves the entire trip. He's never been afraid of boats, cars, trucks, or airplanes. I think the constant noise was too much for him.
Earlier this morning, I noticed a cute cafe a short distance away that opens at 10:00 a.m., so that's where I am headed now.
Tomorrow morning we are headed to Saint John New Brunswick.
Cheers, and Happy Thursday!
Lynda and The Sparkinator
