Cape Breton Island

We have spent several days in the Bras d'or Lakes and Baddeck area on Cape Breton, waiting for our scheduled departure from North Sydney to Newfoundland. The weather has been on the cold and very wet side, with our camp ground just oozing in water. Our couple of days passed quickly with a good wireless connection and having the option to watch the opening of the Beijing Olympics on the 8th of August. The Lief Erickson left at 1700, and was a very calm crossing with our arrival in Port aux Basques. We took Dutchess and Granny onto the ferry separately, and on desembarking we missed each out, but finally met up an hour or so later at the J T Cheeseman Provincial Park, our stop for the night.
