Something that's not... quite right-seeming in Chapter 18.

If you're in North Sydney, NS, having been bounced at the dock from the ferry, it's a fair drive "back" to where you can bridge across to PEI. And it's a fair drive down the Nova Scotia side to a good place to really watch the Fundy tides. And for best effect, you really need to be around for both high and low tides!

Now, *four* days...

(And if memory serves, it's more like 5� hours dock-to-dock from Nova Scotia to Port-aux-Basques.. but that was on the _Caribou_ when it was a new boat back in, oh, 1985. On the other hand, I don't remember how long in advance of the sailing that we had to be at the terminus...)

But it is beautiful country up there, and a lot of places are sort of clinging to the rock as best they can...
