On July 2nd the rains returned and we left PEI via the Confederation Bridge. Fortunately the winds on the bridge were not too high and since a bike rider is higher than a car driver we had a excellent view of the straight as we crossed.
Because of the rain we took a pass on the Bay of Fundy coast and other tourist attractions and drove past St John stopping at a motel outside of St George with a magnificent view of the coast and the fishermen working in the bay. While eating dinner on an outside balcony by the bay we witnessed the drama of a bold eagle swooping down over a mother duck and her brood of chicks. Right on queue, just before the eagle struck all the chicks dove and avoided the outstretched tallons. After three passes the eagle moved on to find other prey, while Bev lamented, "but the eagle needs to eat too!!" making her quite unpopular with the other diners at the restaurant.
