Channel-Port aux Basques to Antigonish. We altered our return ferry to cross in the daytime. We also got lucky and we able to upgrade to a berth so we could at least try to nap. Still not the best way to do the crossing on motorcycles since you are still …

From the Lodge to Port aux Basques.

Distance traveled (approximate): 528kms

And we’re off! We’ve made some adjustments to our return plans. We will spend the night in Channel-Port aux Basques and then take a day crossing back to North Sydney. Ideally we would then spend a night …

An honest-to-goodness day off. Well, sort of. We start our trip back home tomorrow so there was all the packing and pre-ride checks to do. Still, mostly a day of patio sitting!

It’s Pick Up the Harley Day! My buddy DreadPirateRoberts and his Father-in-Law took the four-wheeled cage and I followed along on my Beemer. It’s a long haul to St. John’s / Mount Pearl and back but …

With the Harley in the shop getting fixed up we took one of those four wheeled vehicular contraptions to do some touring. We took the 340 North to the Beothuk Interpretation Centre (the Beothuk were the indigenous population in Newfoundland). The picture below is the waterfront at the Interpretaion Centre …

Moncton to the North Sydney Ferry Terminal.

Distance traveled (approximate): 481kms

After getting to Cape Breton, about half way to North Sydney is Big Spruce Brewing, a small local brewery high on a hill overlooking the water. Well worth the visit. I don’t really have a decent picture that …

Saint-Jean-Port-Joli to Moncton

Distance traveled (approximate): 640kms
