The sky here is so many shades of pink and purple fading into blue with a full moon shining over the ocean and the beach. Who would have known we would see something even prettier than the campground in Cape Breton!

Before we left our last campsite this morning we saw at least 4 huge birds swooping down on and around the lake. Eagles and they came so low and close it was incredible! One of the longterm campers told us that there were 7 who lived near the lake, but at one time, when fish were more plentiful, there were as many as 25!
We followed the same winding roads and "mountains" to leave Cape Breton but the trek felt shorter today! We opted to take the ferry over to PEI.  It was only about 1 1/2 hours.  While we wandered the decks, we found that many people wanted to talk to us and/or just meet Max!

He certainly has lots of fans! There was a couple in their 70's travelling from BC on a motorcycle, towing a small camper trailer, another couple visiting from Florida (she is a retired nurse who married a Floridian) and another Dutch couple touring the Maritimes.
The provincial park we are staying at is on the ocean. Our campsite is tucked behind a few trees, but still has a view of the ocean.

Wow! We have already gone waking along the shore. Couldn't believe how warm the water was, perhaps we'll try swimming tomorrow.  Max has already been in a few times and almost caught himself a seafood dinner! We saved the crab by dragging Max, in the opposite direction!! Or perhaps we saved Max as the crab was large and would have fought back.
We are staying here for at least 2 nights or......... maybe a lot longer, who knows?
We called Freda and Jim (Bruinsma relatives) and will drop in for a short visit tomorrow.
Bye for now.....
