Honeymoon Day 6: Yarmouth, NS to Portland, ME

By
Our final day started early- can't miss our ride home. We were in line for the CAT ferry by 7:00. Very foggy morning so not much to see in Yarmouth and no chance for seeing whales or dolphins from the ferry unless they jumped up to our window.

All in all, a great trip and looking forward to getting home and sharing the memories with everyone.



Location: Yarmouth, NS, Canada

The ocean was fairly warm and the brook was very cold! Next we were back into the sun to warm up again and re

We took a dip in the ocean and floated in the crashing waves. The beach is covered in smooth rocks but even smooth rocks are hard when you crash into them!! Somehow the water in the gulf of St. Lawrence seems warmer than the coast of Maine but that doesn’t really seem possible. There is a freshwater stream outlet near the campsite however, and that is frigid! It’s great though to rinse off the salty sea. After our refreshing swim, we read books, watched the sea, and ate pancakes (lunch—not double breakfast). As we packed up the kayaks to venture out...it started to POUR! It was a foggy, viewless drive on Cabot Trail. When we found cell signal we booked the Cat home and accommodation in Yarmouth. Then guess what? The skies cleared!!!! We found a spot to launch into South Harbor and spent a couple hours paddling about. I was struck by
