It was about a 30 minute drive through farmland to reach the ferry and I passed by acres of potatoes neatly planted in the red dirt fields. In my travel guide there was a statement that half the worlds potatoes come from the little Provence of PEI. I went back to be sure I read it correctly, but it can't really be true.
The ferry dropped me off halfway up on Nova Scotia and it was a short drive to Cape Breton Island, where I was headed to drive the Cabot Trail. About mid way up the west coast is the town of Inverness, home to the famous golf course Cabot Links. About half of the 18 holes are right on the St Lawrence Sea and it was the prettiest golf venue I've ever seen.
I was in a foursome with two local dentists who were brothers, and one of their buddies. The sun was out and the sea was glassy calm. One of my partners pointed out an area where moose hang out but I told him not to worry because moose never show up when I'm around.
I found a cabin room for the night in the town of Baddeck and I'll do the Cabot Trail in north Cape Breton Island early tomorrow. Weather looks good for pictures.
