As we leave St John's I look out the window and see these two spying Dorito. This is photographic evidence that indeed Orange is the coolest color. (I refuse to document the other 1million times they might have been closer to the white bike)
We got to the ferry a bit early, and happen upon this fellow inmate. His name is Thomas and I believe his moniker is TDP (his initials). Had a fascinating lunch, some post dinner, bfast and lunch the next day with him. He left us in Meat Cove though..
Here's another smiling lurker inmate:
Anyhow, the ferry left Argentia on the mark, and arrived 14 hrs later across Cabot Straight with no drama. Honestly, we slept quite soundly.
Interesting Islands (3X taller than wide)
Buoy Repair Vessel (and some Buoys on dock)
Nothing like a 800 person, a few semi-trucks, 30 morotbikes and lots of cars ferry wake
The "he made bail and got off the rock (Newfoundland) alive smile":
Even the bike escapes the shackles
Cabot trail scenery hugging the coastline
Turn off Cabot trail to Meat Cove marked by red roof church:
Scenery into Meat Cove
Mr TicTac goes for a quick dip:
In Cod we trust
For those that haven't been to Meat Cove since 21 Aug 2010, they got hit by a huge storm and it ruined 2 of the 3 bridges, but the beach is now 2/3rds larger.

The folks next to us have seen a seal and a pilot whale from their site (and some binoculars). We are tracking home right on schedule, and stay tuned for updates on Sushi Night Extraordinare!
