Destination: The Rock

It was a very early start to our day so we could arrive at Hatchers Truck & Trailer Repair for our 8:00 a.m. appointment. We were encouraged to see a couple of motorhomes parked in their lot. After removing the generator from its compartment to vacuum lots of pink insulation out of the generator, put there by mice (the busy b******), the mechanic discovered that the main wire had been chewed but not frayed or damaged beyond use. He wrapped the wire with silicone hose to prevent further chaffing and we were good to go.... a labour intensive repair @ $184.44.

We were just a few km from the ferry terminal and arrived ahead of the time we were told to be there.
The day got a little more expensive when they measured us and included two more feet for the bicycles. We had to pay an additional $71.81 making the total $324.87 for the crossing. 
It was a very swish operation to load the ferry, the MV Highlanders. We set sail in a light drizzle 15 minutes ahead of schedule at 12:00. It took exactly 6 hours to sail the 177 km to Port aux Basques on the west coast of Newfoundland. With the 1/2 hour time difference, we disembarked the ferry around 00.

We drove 42 km as far as the Codroy Valley to Grand Codroy RV Park. (Jean and |I had stayed there in 2006 on our trip with friends Martha and Joyce.)

It felt great to be back in Newfoundland.
