Before long I was crossing the Canso Causeway into Cape Breton. I stopped at a tourist information centre and was informed that the road I had intended to take would mean about 40km of muddy road because of construction and the recent rain... So I changed my route, sticking to the TransCanada Highway for most of the day.
I was ahead of schedule (as my ferry from North Sydney to Newfoundland would not be sailing until the evening of the 29th. As such, I spent a good deal of my day lounging about.
Near Whycocomagh, I found a secluded shoreline. I stopped for the day while the sun was still up, swam, ate, read, and watched the sandpipers hunt, and some crabs chase each other around. Eventually, I set up my tent and called it a night. Unfortunately, I snapped my cell phone in half so Shireen did not get her near-daily phone call...
