We are planning to cross to Newfoundland sometime in mid-July for 3 or 4 weeks.
I have read the Trip Logs from the Maritimes Trip Mahoney/Brewer 2008 and Cousins 2008 and one from 2010.
I notice that a lot of people go from Sidney, NS to Argentia, NL instead of Port Aux Basques, NL. Is there any reason to go east first? I plan to go west first to Port Aux Basques which is the shorter ferry ride first. My reason is that we will be taking a lot of frozen food with us and not running the frig/freezer for 14 hours on the longer trip, it may start to thaw. I know that the food will stay frozen for the 5 to 6 hour shorter trip and may not for the 14 to 15 hour trip. The plan would be try to travel back with a mostly empty freezer.
Any other suggestions for the trip over and back. Also anything not covered in the Trip Logs in the Library and the Trip reports board?
The present plan is to go pretty much straight to the ferry and do our exploration of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, Quebec on our return.
We are presently around Atlantic city working our way to NYC then Boston for the 4th of July then moving toward the ferry.
