Today was a down day from riding as it involved a day-long journey from North Sydney to Port-aux-Basques on a ferry. Today was a special day for Marine Atlantic because as an official sponsor of the St.John’s Canada Games it welcomed aboard the games flame for the crossing.
As part of the celebration Marine Atlantic put on a really nice and tasty spread of delicious nibblies, including cod croquettes and mini sliders, and smoked arctic char on tiny pancakes and melba toasts, cookies and chocolates for all passengers. There was plenty of food for all passengers on the ship. Well done!
The crossing was very smooth and I was able to get in a series of naps along the way.
Tonight I had a nice plate of perfectly prepared pan fried cod with scrunchins, mashed potatoes and vegetables at the St Christopher’s Hotel’s restaurant, along with the obligatory bottle of refreshing Iceberg beer.
I am looking forward to tomorrow’s ride up to the North shore of Newfoundland, one of the destinations of this year’s ride.
