Ferry across the Bay of Fundy July 15

Our last day in Nova Scotia was relaxed. Rich searched around for a good fishing spot. He tried the cove, a small port and finally we returned to Petite passage. We watched the ferry coming and going, the fog moving through the passage and listened to the strong flow of water. While at the cove we watched how the ravens interfere with the bald eagles as they try to fish. It was only when we saw the raven flying alongside the eagle did we realize just how large the eagle is. We caught the late afternoon ferry at Digby, headed for St John. An expensive way to return to New Brunswick, but quite memorable. We were enveloped by fog some of the way and we astounded at how disorienting it can be. We sailed through fog, rain and wind. By the time we got to St John the skies were clear. It was fun driving off the ferry through the front of the boat. Our overnight stop was at New River Provincial Park. It was really full, with some seasonal campers, but pleasantly peaceful. After a wonderful dinner at a restaurant run by a Greek couple we snuggled down for our last night in Canada.
