I am assuming you are doing the North Sydney to Aux Port Basque run. Try and get the midnight to 7 am ferry and get a cabin and sleep. If you don't you end up spending the night before nearby, ride the noon to 6 pm and basically drive to another hotel. The night run seems to sell out pretty far in advance so plan ahead. If you are doing North Sydney to St Johns that is 16 hours, so you damn well better get a cabin. We had to take the noon run. Still got a cabin. Well worth it, you can get away from everyone and have at sea sex. Food and whatnot is actually pretty good. There is a bar too. You will be tempted to get there early. Don't bother. Loading won't start until 90 minutes before departure. They want you there 2 hours ahead, so 2 hours and 1 minute is more than enough. Lots of people came well after the 2 hour warning. All in all, it was a very enjoyable time except tying down the bike. Their straps blew dead goats. The ratchets were corroded with salt and you had to fight them. Plus I had to do it twice, old French dude in front of me had no idea what he was doing. There are moose everywhere you look.

Ferry ride is done. Parked nearby at our hotel. Canada is weird. Newfoundland has a 30 minute time zone offset. As usual, cagers in the way getting off the ferry.

Boarding in a couple of hours.

Lot of Harleys at the hotel tonight.

Foggy, very cool and damp slab ride to northern NS. We are parked for the night right next to where we grab the ferry in the morning. Wife was very uncool and would not let me repel off the 12th floor of yesterdays hotel.

FTFY

Shaved prime rib on a Yorkshire puff.

A day later and 50 miles into Canada ran across this guy again. He is off to do the Cabot trail. It's a sign Paul, you need to buy it back.

Casino in Bangor, then Stephen King's House, and the standpipe that inspired It. He wrote much of it in the park there.

You will want 9 and 7 across VT and NH.

Dover NH tonight. Dinner at Newiks Lobster House. If I am within a few hundred miles of this place I stop. It will be the best lobster you have ever had. Yes, it all comes on paper plates with plastic utensils. Deal.

Stopped at a light in Concord NH. Cop pulls up beside me and looks over. I tapped like hell on the top of my helmet. He lost it.

Found @Pauly 's bike in Vermont.

Nice ride through the mountains so far on 7. Bizarre store at the Vermont border.

Ok motocat, that is epic.

Not much in the way of pics today. Slab to Rome NY and a casino. Tomorrow will be better ride. 9 across VT and NH.

We leave in a few minutes. Newfoundland, you have been warned.

We got the Flux Capacitor signed a couple years ago by Michelle J Fox, Christopher Loyd and Tom Wilson (Biff). You can see the silver signatures by each light. Just to the right of the Flux you can see a blue card with a silver piece in the middle. That is part of one of the 3 original cars from the movies.

Despite Pauly abandoning me in my time of need we are pretty much done.

It seems you are well versed in these things. We accept your offer to take over this task.
