Next morning we were lined up in North Sydney with hundreds of other vehicles, waiting to board the ferry to Newfoundland. The Marine Atlantic ferries to Newfoundland are almost the size of a cruise ship. They can take up to 1,000 passengers, 570 cars, or 190 transport trucks, but usually some combination of both.
Once safely on board Alex and Sara headed up to the outer observation deck on level eight....
..where they checked out the lifeboats...
They also walked around the deck to check out the other ships in the harbour...
including the Leif Ericson, a much smaller, older ferry, docked next door...
After six and a half hours sailing through dense fog, with the foghorn sounding at one minute intervals the entire time, the kids arrived in Newfoundland. But it was too foggy to see much of anything.
