Bike Gaspe Day 30

Yarmouth to Kingston. We are really fortunate that Hans and Betty are giving us a ride home. We loaded our bikes on the bike rack that they brought from Kingston. By 7 am we were in line for the Cat, the fast ferry to Portland, Maine;  the ship got underway around 8 am. The ocean was very calm and the temperature around 15C. During the sail we took the opportunity to to listen to a description of the history of the Cat; it is now owned by the US Navy and operating by Bay Ferries. We were cruising at 35 knots but it was so smooth it didn't seem that fast. At 10 am we had a bonus- whales on the starboard side. The rest of the day was uneventful.  Upon arrival in Portland we waited in line behind 4 cars, cleared US customs and drove Hy 302 through Maine and New Hampshire to the interstate highways. From I-93 then I-91 we cleared Canadian customs and drove home. My efforts to not lose weight seem to have paid off as I might have gained a pound or 2 in the last month. This is the last entry in this blog for now.
