It was another good day. We had a lazy morning and didn't leave the motel until 10AM. The first leg of the route took us up to the town of Shippagan.

In the beginning, we had a wide shoulder with very little traffic.

There were only a few residents in this area.

North of the town of Inkenman, we had a few views of the water.

As we got closer to Shippagan, we started going through some residential areas. Since we have been in Canada, we've seen many more homes with laundry drying on a line that we usually see in the States. It's a nice homey image. I love the way this person hung the laundry in a rainbow.

Shippagan is on the Gulf of St. Lawrence and home to the New Brunswick Aquarium. We had a good time there. I took some pictures, but they don't come out too well through the aquarium glass.

Various common and very rare colors of lobsters.

This man seemed to be talking about making lobster traps, but he was soeaking French, so I'm not sure.

The aquarium is next to the Shippagan Harbour.

We're spending the night in Caraquet. Our hotel is on Chaleur Bay, next to a beautiful waterfront park and marina.

Marina next door to our hotel. This section is for pleasure boats.

Fishing trawlers and other commercial boats were in a separate section of the marina

We have a nice bayfront route planned for tomorrow. Thunderstorms are forecast for the afternoon, so our goal will be to enjoy the views and stay dry.

Today's ride: 41 miles (66 km)
Total: 3,652 miles (5,877 km)
