To The Island & Back, Part VI

July 2nd and everybody is moving slow. Tom and Jennifer, Elizabeth and Andrew, Mike and Angie and all the kids packed up ...
 and said good-bye
 miss you already
So, Mom, Dad, Dolly, David, Mike, Angie, Lauren, Leah and me went to Brehaut's for lunch. Waited a very long time for a table, but the fried chicken was worth it! Gotta have fried chicken from Brehaut's at least once a year...
We waited on the porch of the restaurant. Good for chatting
Then we headed through Murray Harbour on to the Cape Bear Lighthouse.
This lighthouse once had a Marconi station, and is where the first distress signal was received from the sinking Titanic in 1912. The lighthouse is in danger of falling over the eroding bank, but I understand that it has been purchased and will be saved.
 Dad and Mike
Watching seals and seagulls fight over something in the water
 We went to the top of the lighthouse
The bank is pretty close
Still can't quite figure out what we are watching out in the water...
...but it's fun to watch
 Then we drove down to the point to take in the spectacular view
Then Angie, Mike and the girls headed for home in Lakeburn. We went on to the end of the road at the point to take another look around. 
 


We lost David. I thought he fell off the cliff, but there he was on the beach.
 We went to Wood islands and watched the ferry Confederation come in.  
 
 
 That's it for July 2nd.
