We decided to head right for Brier Island rather than stopping along the way much. There are 2 short ferry rides to get to Brier Island. Our focus was to get to the lighthouse area, which is a nature sanctuary, and stay there overnight.
 |
| The first ferry ride, less than a kilometer across the water |
 |
| The ramp down to the ferry |
 |
| An incoming fishing boat |
When we got to the Brier Island lighthouse several other people were there, but we got a good spot for the night:
 |
| The lighthouse. Locked up but automated. Even the foghorn. |
 |
| Our spot for the night. More level than it looks. |
 |
| One of our 2 camping neighbours. This was from Germany, roaming the world. |
Hiking around the area:
 |
| The wild roses will grow almost anywhere it seems |
 |
| Lots of crabby remains scattered around |
 |
| One of the many crab-killers |
 |
| A big potato? A dinosaur egg? Nope, just a foam float remnant. |
 |
| A number of chicks around, hidden until a parental feeding is available |
 |
| The chick colours really camouflage them against the rocks |
 |
| Those dots in the water are seal heads, a seal convention apparently |
 |
| Windy but beautiful seas today |
