We went into Port aux Basques and their library's parking lot to collect our emails and cell phone messages. Sure enough, Maritime Atlantic, the ferry operator, told us in two email and a cell phone message that our crossing will be delayed 6 hours. The phone message had to be acknowledged. Can't fault them for not communicating.
Since it was gloomy and a bit windy, we headed back to Cheeseman Provincial Park where we hung out the rest of the day. I did get a chance to talk to a local camper as well as one from Ontario. These chats are always a fun part of camping. I brought them up to date on what I learned about Earl track which had shifted East a bit and closer to us.
Earl's passage itself was not at all worrisome. Some gusty wind and some rain in the evening, but really not that bad. It was now a tropical storm anyway. When Earl was closest, around 11;30 pm, the loudest noise was not the wind, but the waves hitting the shore some distance away.
Odometer reads 68,987.
