Day 53: Little Current to Wiarton 141km (not including ferry ride)


We made the 60km to the ferry with enough time for a classic breakfast part 2. Good tea but below average breakfast, you can't win them all I guess. The ferry ride was 2 hours but luckily it was a great day out so we could sit out on deck. It was a strange feeling getting on a full sized ferry to cross a lake. The crossing was also 2 hours and this if you look at a map is just a very small section of Lake Huron. While on the ferry I fed seagulls crisps and we met a character named Basil from Trinidad. When we told him what we were doing he kept on shouting 'holy mackerel man', which was hilarious. It turned out he worked for the same company as Agnes' dad and he was a very interesting guy. I wish I could have recorded him for you all but never mind.
The 80km ride after the ferry was a long one but we have had worse. We camped out in the municipal park in the town of Wiarton, which is famous for the groundhog Wiarton Willy.
