We have moved to the southeast coast of PEI near Panmure Island, our last move on the Island before taking the Wood Island Ferry to Nova Scotia Friday morning. We stopped in Charlottetown for fuel and groceries on the way down here, the first diesel we have purchased in Canada. The prices have dropped a bit in the past couple of weeks so we paid $5.35(us) a gallon.
We arrived to heavy rain this noon so sat back and waited it out before leaving for a brief tour of Bear Cape and a stop at the Rossignol Winery in Little Sands to check out the local samplings. 
Sue ended up with a couple of bottles of PEI Blueberry Wine that she plans on sharing with Betty Brewer this weekend.
A trip around the PEI coast always means another lighthouse. We took photos of two of the five or six we saw today.We also stopped by the ferry which is about six miles from the campground to check out the procedures for boarding. They do not accept reservations for vehicles over 20' so we plan on arriving early for the 9:15AM ferry as it is not as crowded as the later ones on Friday.
We had dinner at home enjoying the view out the windshield of the sun shining on the mussel buoys bobbing a few hundred feet in front of the motorhome at the mouth of the Murray River. Mussels are grown on just about every protected estuary on PEI and are delicious. PEI accounts for 80% of Canada's mussel production and rivals New Zealand as the world's leader.The mussels are grown in mesh sleeves (socks) that are suspended from longlines run from moored or anchored buoys. As many as two tons of mussels will be harvested from each long line by boats with winches during the summer or by cutting holes in the ice during the winter months.
We will travel out to East Point tomorrow with stops at Souris (Soree) where one set Jeff's maternal great great grandparents were born and at Georgetown. Georgetown is a quaint seaside town where more of the wooden boat industry existed in the 1800's.
