Early start to the day. Cheticamp harbour, flat as a skating rink (or a reflecting pool) as we head south. Too early for Charlie’s Music to be open, too late for Flora’s. Wonder what happened there.

Maybe it’s age, or just fascination with the place, but this vacation is slowing down. At the current rate, we’ll have seen what we would like to visit by the end of the month… next month.
