Last of the boat rides! This one doesn't leave until 1:15pm from Pool's Cove for a four hour passage to Bay L'Argent. 5:15pm is too late to put the gnome into action.
After boarding the small vessel I was watching the fish farm workers unload farmed Atlantic salmon from a boat onto the dock. They opened the lid to each container to shovel more ice onto the fish and tie the bag that lines the container with a big zip tie at the top. I noticed when they opened the lid to each container there was a single salmon on top of the liner bag and that salmon would go into a green garbage bag and taken away. A little perk I would say.
We road the 4kms intoJacques Fontaine to the small general store and waited for its 6pm opening. After paying for my food I asked the lady of we could pitch our tents behind the store. Not only did I get a yes, we were invited for tea after she closes the store at 9pm and have showers and do laundry. A touring cyclist's dream when your feeling tired and dirty.
