Martin’s watch band was disintegrating and he needed some crazy glue to fix it. A Pro Hardware store in Murray Harbour had just the right stuff.

With that problem solved we were off to Cape Bear lighthouse and former Marconi wireless radio station. One of its claims to fame is that it was the first station in Canada to receive the distress call from the Titanic at 12:15AM on April 15th, 1912 which it passed onto Charlottetown and from there to Halifax. (Newfoundland wasn’t part of Canada in 1912, having not joined Canada until 1949).

The weather looked a little bit like rain or thunderstorm so it was time to move.

Northumberland Provincial Park has a campground and day-use beach area and we walked along the beach deciding whether to stay in the campground, take the ferry to Nova Scotia or stay for another night in Charlottetown. A thunderstorm did move in and the life guards closed the swimming area and hid out in their little cabin.

Charlottetown won out and we enjoyed another pretzel, beer and pickle at the Pretzel, Pint and Pickle bar where Rachel warmly welcomed us back.
