Wednesday, July 10^th – Oyster Bed Bridge – Bayside

Today we replaced the fuel pump and carburetor filter on The Ceilidh. We found a long, broken rubber hose from a vacuum connection to the after-market cruise control. It all took some time. We then cruised into the Napa Parts Store in Charlottetown to pick up a headlight switch for Larry’s RV. Muffler tape is hard to find but we got a few shreds and wrapped them around Larry’s leaking headers. Not so much difference but perhaps a small reduction in sound. The Ceilidh’s repairs? Well, she stuttered a wee bit on the way back. All fuel filters replaced; fuel pump replaced. Gotta be pollution control stuff. Oh joy!

Our reward for the hours spent on repair related chores was to jump in the campground pool. It was lovely.

The Pool Was A Nice Reward After The Repairs.

I walk down the road to view the bay. Yep, the oyster farms are still there. I’m told they were mussel farms the past years but the nutrient load in the bay is changing and oysters do much better.

Some Oyster Farms in Rustico Bay. There Are Many More.

A quiet evening, hopefully a good sleep and off to Nova Scotia in the morning. PEI seems a nice place.
