Sunday was a travel day. We drove from Twillingate to Doyles. We were going to take two days, but decided to push it and have time to do some sightseeing around Port Aux Basques on Monday. We drove 592 km (355 miles). Toward the end of the day, we were driving in rain, and it was raining the worst when we got to the RV park. It hardly stopped raining all night.
Today we drove to Port Aux Basques and everything was solid fog. We went to the Rose Blanche lighthouse, and you can see that any hopes of a view of the ocean were gone.
On our way to the lighthouse, we stopped at The Ann Harvey Trail, an area memorializing the efforts of Ann and her Newfoundland dog that helped save the lives of 150 passengers on a ship that was sinking in a storm back in 1820. At the community center/interpretive center, I found out there was a boat being built in the basement. The photo shows a start of the project.
Tomorrow, we take the ferry back to Nova Scotia. Departure time is 8:30 A.M., and we have to be there 1 hour early. It's about a 30 minute drive in good weather, but tomorrow morning will probably not be "good" weather, so we are planning on taking 1 hour to get there. That makes for an early 'rise and shine' time.
P.S. The guys have been whooping the gals in bridge. Dave had 33 points in one hand and also bid and made a small slam bid. The gals haven't given up yet, though!
