A long way home

Today we started out long journey back to Ontario. The ferry leaves at 5:00 pm so we took a scenic route.
We passed through Harbour Grace, the starting place for Amelia Earhart's historical solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean.
Then to soothingly named Heart's Content and Dildo. A dildo is a wooden peg used to secure an oar in place in a fishing dory. (Get your mind out of the gutter).

 Finally, to the ferry at Argentia. The people of Argentia were relocated during the second world war to make room for a military base. All that is there today is the ferry port.
At 5:00 pm Newfoundland time Little Red Dog said goodbye to Newfoundland, promising to return someday.
We shared out ferry ride with about 20 Hell's Angels motorcycle club members. It was, thankfully, an uneventful journey.
