Day 16 Pictou Nova Scotia



We had another repair done to my engine, new lifters; definitely an improvement on the noise.  We have agreed that we will finish the trip, if it breaks down we will crate it and ship it home.  So frustrating but such is life!
We went to woods island to the ferry, arriving at 3:30 we were told 4:30 ferry would leave about 5 which gave us time to grab a snack and some shade.
The trip over is about 75 minutes and there were logging trucks lined up to board who had been waiting since 8:30 in the morning as one of the two ships was out for repairs. Looks like they are hauling pine to the pulp mill on the other side.  It was nice to feel the cooling wind on deck while we watched the land, porpoises and kelp float by.
We stayed at the Lion stone Inn, which was the first that we came to..... accommodation is definitely scarce, long weekend is ahead and tourists are traveling.
Fat Tony's pub served up yummy squid, haddock and salads, within walking distance it provided us with much needed exercise.
