Farewell, Newfoundland

We spent yesterday at Cape Ray just around the corner from Port Aux Basques where the ferry leaves from. It was a beautiful, sunny day, but quite windy. We took turns going on the hike that provides the view in the picture. Once upon the hill, it felt like you might blow away. Our campsite was nice and sheltered, so you couldn't even tell it was windy there. We have found that most of the campsites have closed down on Newfoundland, so the pickings are slim. We ended up at a Provincial campsite that was nice, but no power, water or sewer. YAY for the solar panel. At least we are functional with battery power that is quickly regenerated. We just didn't have phone or computer service. Made for a nice quiet and relaxing afternoon.
We are now almost two hours into our ferry trip back to Nova Scotia. 4 more hours to go. It's quite smooth so far. We are SO thankful that we had planned to leave today as we found out this morning there is a tropical storm watch for where we were. All of the southern areas of Newfoundland are going to be hit by the tail end of Hurricane Florence late tonight. We may still get some of the effects in Nova Scotia, but as of now, there are no Environment Canada warnings.
