in message Hey Don, There are two I know of on Cape Breton alone,
Englishtown,
St. Annes Bay you mentioned and Little Narrows on Whycocomagh Bay,
Bras d'Or lakes. On mainland Nova Scotia, there's Country Harbour
Ferry and LaHave Ferry.

Thanks Ken...I was looking for pictures of the Lahave ferry with no
results.... I see it's under East Lahave.
I should have remembered the ferry at Little Narrows...we were there fall
of 2005. Is it still running?


Woops... the gears just started meshing... I remembered the big church on
one side. This was the ferry we took We avoided the Englishtown Ferry by
driving around the southern end of St. Ann's bay as we headed up to do the
Cabot Trail counterclockwise.



In Belize we went across a hand powered cable ferry to get from the main
road to Spanish Lookout. Spanish Lookout is an area where a bunch of
Canadian Mennonites have settled and turned the countryside into highly
productive farmland.

The ferry can take 2 cars at a time, maybe three. The time I was on it
we had 2 cars and two trucks (pick ups) with about half the Belizian
army on board. They fit the extra vehicles by parking on the ramps
overhanging the ferry. One old guy winching away on a big old wheel.
First over,then back. All day long.

I couldn't get a picture because of my wife screaming about death and
retribution the whole way. Life in the other lane!
