Newfoundland Trip - Day 3

Woke up early - it is very rainy. Left after getting camping gear dried off as much as possible. Drove over to Port Hawkesbury. Crossing the causeway, saw a van that looked like Gerard's - couldn't be... (???). Continued along the western side of Cape Breton and enjoyed some sun in the afternoon. Found some great coastal rock formations for climbing. Met some nice people. Around sunset, camped near Cape Breton-Newfoundland ferry. After getting camp set-up, drove down to pier to inquire about crossing times. The ticket agent told me that I should get in line tonight to make sure I can get across by tomorrow morning. If I waited, he said the line would be huge... Went back to campground and convinced the manager to give me a refund. Headed back to the line and paid for my turn on the Ferry. It left in the middle of the night. Once car was on the boat, caught some shuteye in a row of seats...
