I've certainly done several posts that include my Fundy dog, Belle, but I've yet to mention even one Bay of Fundy cat, not even our huge catamaran fast ferry: The Cat. This gorgeous 6-year old vessel travels between Portland, Maine or Bar Harbor, Maine and Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. This is a fun trip - I've done it many times - but now is even more alluring because of higher gas prices in both Canada & the U.S.The ship can hold up to 900 passengers and 250 cars but it scoots along smoothly at about 36 knots. The Cat runs seasonally from May 30 to mid-October. The trip from Portland to Yarmouth is 3 hrs; the trip from Bar Harbor to Yarmouth is 5.5 hours.
It makes a nice trip to come up from Maine on the ferry, loop around Bay of Fundy through Nova Scotia & New Brunswick, then pop back over the land border at St Stephen, NB - Calais, Maine.
Can you tell me Terri, how long is the drive from Yarmouth to Parrsboro?
ReplyDeleteWe normally drive 12-13 hours from Pelham, NH to Parrsboro. Have always thought about taking the Cat,but wondered about the drive to Parrsboro.
Hi Sally - it's about 5 hrs from Yarmouth to Parrsboro. Should take less time for you to take the ferry and drive up thru NS - also you get the pretty boat trip too....
