After leaving Rocky Harbour yesterday we drove in occasionally heavy rain to the Codroy valley about 45 minutes from the ferry terminal. We camped at the Grand Codroy RV park. It is a well maintained attractive but open campground just far enough off the road to be quiet.
The weather cleared overnight and was reasonably calm for us to pack up in the morning.
We didn’t have any problem getting ferry tickets without reservations but we had a half a bag of potatoes seized. For reasons which aren’t clear to us they don’t allow root vegetables off the island. It’s actually the soil that’s the problem.
By the time we sailed the wind was high again and the first half of the trip across the Cabot Straight was rough. A lot of passengers were sea sick. It took about 6.5 hours to cross. The wi-fi on board was out of order but we cleaned up the photographs from this trip and our spring trip to Mexico. If we can find a good connection somewhere we'll send them to a online processor and have them mailed home.
After landing in North Sydney we headed towards Louisbourg and camped for the night at a Waterpark/RV campground near Marion Bridge. There are a lot of rough roads in the area. It seems to be largely a seasonal campground with a lot trailers that didn’t appear to have moved in quite a while. The campgrounds were still noisy at 11:30. We turned on the fantastic fan to drown it out and slept well.
