Channel-Port aux Basques

No, my mom and my sister came with me and we did, I think we did, well, to drive across Newfoundland in itself, that's 10 hours.

So from St. John's to get the ferry to Port-au-Basque, that's 10 hours.

We slept in Port-au-Basque and I got the ferry the next day.

The ferry's seven hours to Sydney, Nova Scotia.

You're 17 hours in and you're only in Nova Scotia.

And a lot of people, um, Newfoundland's a big island.

It takes about nine hours to drive from one end to the other if you wanted to get the ferry on Port aux Basques.

You know, so we are very heavily reliant on fuel and gas here.

You know, we can't just hop on a, on a train or, or anything like that, and even, even a bus system to go across the island, right? So like we are very heavily reliant on vehicles.

It's a U-shaped road that goes from the bottom corner up, up halfway across to, to again, Newfoundland, and then down to St. John's.

Um, there's a ferry terminal at Port aux Basques on the very southern s- you know, southeast tip, uh, sorry, southwest tip, and then there's the, like a ferry terminal in by St. John's on the other side.

Um, so that's like airplane and ferry is how you get off the, the island.

There's no road to get off, there's no bridge.
