SBP 1: Canada #003
Flight from St. Andrews / Codroy Valley (CDA5) to Baddeck / Crown Jewel (CDW2).
-
Turning towards Cabot Strait near Shoal Point with the Little Codroy River Estuary behind us.
-
A last look back towards Newfoundland: The Tolt and Table Mountain are visible in the background.
-
Crossing Cabot Strait. St. Paul Island is visible in the distance, behind it lies the coast of Nova Scotia.
-
Arriving in Nova Scotia: The larger bay in front of us is North Bay Ingonish, the smaller one behind it is South Bay Ingonish. As you may have already guessed: At their shore sits the town of Ingonish, as well as Ingonish Centre, Ingonish Beach and Ingonish Ferry. Ingonish’t it funny?
-
The French River Wilderness Area on the eastern side of Cape Breton. To the left lies St. Anns Bay with Boularderie Island behind it.
-
North River as well as the North River Estuary, sitting in a valley between Murray Mountain (left) and Rooster Hill (right). The Estuary joins St. Anns Harbour in the far distance.
Notes:
- The trip across Cabot Strait was actually pretty interesting - especially the reflection of the clouds in the sea gave it an almost mystical hue!
- Finally we’re in an area where my map displays actual names so I can at least give a proper location for our pictures!
- This concludes our Newfoundland and Labrador episode! We finished our first state!
