This time we arrived from Digby, having taken the ferry from St. John. We have often wanted to take that ferry but until now it was not convenient. Today we did it. Unfortunately the fog was dense so you could see nothing at all except fog from the moment we left St. John harbor till we arrived in Digby. That was a shame because I know from the pictures that both harbors are picturesque. The sea was still as glass all the way over which was a blessing. The Acadian Queen is the name of the boat and it was full. The ferry is old with lots of painting needing to be done but it was comfortable both inside and out. Ken and I stayed outside all the way, walking from the stern to the bow with many stops along the way.
Loading all those cars, trucks and tractor trailers is not an easy task. I was impressed with the efficiency of the staff. From Digby we drove over to Highway 8 and then quickly to our home by the shore. The air is warm and the air is clean and everything in the house seems to be working. Gill is here and Mary and Cliff too. Soon our company will arrive and our summer will begin in earnest. This is a lovely spot to spend the summer.
