Seven FABAC cars left Fredericton for Grand Manan on Saturday morning at the appointed hour under a dark cloud and plenty of rain. Sadly that dark cloud soon claimed our tour leaders Gary and Barb’s LBC on our way past Oromocto but the remaining members doggedly continued on our soggy, tops-up way under the capable backup leadership of David and co-pilot Margot. After a smooth but foggy crossing on the ferry, we were welcomed to the Island by Stephen W who had gone on the day before to prepare island residents for our “invasion”. Shortly after our arrival, the sun broke through which allowed us to go topless the rest of our stay in which we toured the island in grand style. We were treated to spectacular sights at Swallowtail, Dark Harbour and Deep Cove among others as the wonderful photos will attest. And of course, no FABAC gathering would be official without our gab & eat-fest and we certainly did partake in lots of both including some fine sea harvest fare. The weekend tour ended with members going off in various directions – to Maine, to other parts of the island and most back to home port – having all thoroughly enjoyed the time together.
