    We are underway, currently an hour out of Port aux Basques on the ferry. Got upgraded to a suite with a window view over the bow, and will be on the ship's bridge for docking. How cool is that.

    Good ride yesterday, stopped at Kedgi's in Shediac for lunch. Dwight qnd Angele put on a some burgers for us, super big thank you and good to see you all again.

    Pretty much boring slab ride all the way to North Sydney.

    Newfoundland awaits.

    Don't be afraid to get off the Trans-Lab while you're here. There's some great exploring to do, especially around Churchill.

    I saw your bikes in town Friday evening, but didn't see you guys anywhere. Was the guy on the BMW travelling with you as well?

    We weren't far away, stayed at the Hotel North, and ate at the restaurant next door that night.

    Oliver was on the BMW, we picked him up in Blanc Sablon and he rode with us to Baie Comeau.

    Full ride report to follow shortly.

    Have you considered shopping this series to the Travel & Tourism boards / ministries in the Provinces you're covering? You might also recover some costs by getting "sponsorships" from the venues you highlight.

    Episode One is up, working on the next one now, should be out in a week or two. Sorry this took so long, work, family and delays getting editing software have chewed up a lot of time. Plus I did the editing, so I was learning and continue to learn as I go.

    Hope ya in enjoy it
