Finished up the Marine By-way today. Of all the by-ways thus far, Marine is the least favorite. While traffic was non-existent (100 cars/300 miles/2days), about 20% of the roads are very rough. The laughed that bike suspension was getting a work out on the high-speed off road course. Gas and food was sparse at best. In fact, we left Sheet Harbor around 0700, and didn't find "breakfast" until 1200!
Since the path meandered around the coast line, every now and again, we got a great view.
We found yet another of the 160 lighthouses that once stood on Nova Scotia. This one in Port Bickerton is open for the public to tour, as it was automated in the late 1980s, and thus no longer houses the lightkeeper.
While the lighthouses and coast lines abounded, we never thought that we'd find this sign:
However we did get a very nice impromptu ferry ride:
As par for the course, we found ourselves behind schedule by lunch. So, once we crossed the levy into Cape Brenton we took RT 105 into North Sydney to make up time.
Tomorrow is the Cabot trail, and then the ferry Xing into Newfoundland on Sat.
