I wish I had more to say about the LaHave ferry from personal experience. We had enjoyed driving the NS 332 as it hugged the coast most of the way from Lunenburg, where we’d spent the previous night, and we’d planned to spend the rest of the day checking out the LaHave Islands. We drove into the minimal waiting area on the East LaHave side, pleased there were no other cars waiting, but only to find the scribbled sign that the ferry was out of service for the next three days. And even worse, the ferry was docked at the other side, all but out of range for the camera equipment I had with me. There was nothing to do but keep driving along the banks of the LaHave River to Bridgewater where we made different plans for the day.

Please excuse the limited photos I was able to take, and the fact I’ve broken my normal rule by including someone else's excellent photo of the ferry. In fact there are quite a few good photos of the ferry on the web (links below) by people who have enjoyed crossing on it, or just watching it. Of course we were peeved that the ferry was unavailable and our plans for the day were messed up. But things break down, crew get sick, not everything in life runs perfectly. We went on to enjoy the day in ways we hadn't planned.
