Saying good bye to our friends Victor and Mae in Lubec, Maine.. Finally the storm has let up and we can continue in to Canada (across the bridge)
On Canadian Campobello Island
Since the ferry between Campobello and Deer Island is not yet running (we wanted to avoid turning around and biking back the way we came) we got a hook up with some Canadian lobster fisherman, Harvey and Scott, awesome guys, who took us (and our bikes) across on their rig, the Krystal Dawn.
Pretty awesome.
Coming down the steep ramp with our bikes and trailers (this is in the Bay of Fundy...) was quite difficult.
The ocean was raging that day. None of the locals in Maine were willing to make the trip--the Canadians said they are woosies, or something to that affect. They thought we were going to get sick. We were rocking a ton and had to hold on, tightly. It was exciting : )
"Will, we mine as well hoist 'em up, we got a winch right here!" (They had great accents). We kind of thought they were joking at first. But it worked out great!!!
And the tandem...
Hahahaha
Scott, sending up the trailer
Don't worry Mom, I made it. : D
Deer Island. They reccomended this place "Fisherman's Cove Cafe" -- "Lots of food and pretty cheap too!" We were quite eager to find it. And it was, indeed, very scrumptious.
On the public ferry crossing to the mainland of New Brunswick. The captain, Christopher Keith Pendleton, invited us up to the wheelhouse to get out of the wind and cold. He was great too. What nice people there are in the world.
