Day 6 - Battery Provincial Park - St Peters Canal & Tall Ships

Bird at Mira River

Geese seen around Gabarus

 We left Mira River and drove down the Fleur de Lys trail. At first it went around Mira River to Marion Bridge then went towards Gabarus.

HMCS Oriole arrives at St Peters Canal

Battery Provincial Park only had spots for us for one night, not for Friday or Saturday.  We called to see if we could find anywhere to stay and Whycocomagh still had 2 spots. We weren't planning on staying there but it had spots!!!

Lion's club Marina on Bra d"Or lake in St Peters

The HMCS Oriole was already docked in the canal when we arrived at Battery Park. By dinner time there was 3 boats, including the St Lawrence 2, the HMCS Oriole and the Mist of Avalon. We were told the If and When was arriving later.  We went to Lion's club marina to take photos on Bras d'Or lake, and we saw 2 RCMP vehiles in st Peters.  One car one, SUV.

Figures it was hard to find camping in Cape Breton this week. Between the Canada 150 celebrations, free entrances to National parks, Tall ships... no wonder.
