St Barbe Newfoundland to West St Modesto Labrador 93.1 miles Today is very cloudy and more wind. Rob had to buy the ferry ticket. Quite a line formed early this morning for the non reserved spots.

Miramichi New Brunswick to Borden-Carleton Prince Edward Island 138 miles The day is about 50% sunny. As usual the car would not start. It didn’t start with a pull either.
