Last night we got back from visiting some friends on White Head Island.It was a great trip and Ellie was really good on the whole trip.

Missing the boat.
Be on time for ferries. We were told to be at the ferry terminal at 12:00 for the 1:30 ferry. We made it there after a three hour drive at 12:30. Here is a picture of the ferry leaving without us.The car that had been in line in front of us was the last one on..
Leaving without us.
Not to worry, the ferry would return for us in four hours…

Once on Grand Manan we took another smaller ferry to get to White Head Island. We were there for several days and while there I shared our ministry and preached at the baptist church and enjoyed the fellowship.

While Ryan was out lobster fishing I got to spend some time wandering around the island with my camera. It was great to be back by the sea and take in the scenery, even if it was quite foggy sometimes. It is a beautiful little island in the middle of the Bay of Fundy where we experience the worlds highest tides. The beach drains every few hours, exposing lots of beach, rocks, tidal pools and you can walk out on the ocean floor.

On the beach.

The night before we left we discovered that the front drivers side tire on our van was low. When we tried to fill it we learned that there was a separation of the ply on it and it was useless. Another complication that required a couple trips on the ferry to fix.
The van jacked up and waiting for a tire.
Since the spare tire seemed to be rusted onto the bracket under the van, we had to take the flat tire off and the morning we were supposed to head for home I had to take the tire (in Ryan’s truck which I had to borrow) over to Grand Manan to get replaced, then return to White head and install the tire back on the van, load and then go back to Grand Manan again. A couple more hours waiting and we were on another ferry headed for home.

Thanks for your hospitality Ryan and Kathy-June. We really enjoyed it!
