My MINI's first ferry ride
I took my daughter blueberry picking at Rose Berry farm in Connecticut. This ferry ride was an unexpected bonus as guided by my gps.

I feel sorry for "big" cars and trucks. |
Some pictures. You can see in my blind spot mirror the tugboat that pushes the ferry barge across. That would be a fun job. :)

I knew this pic looked like our group, but I saw your from FL and had to take a second look. It's our group here in VA, right? A ferry ride to go berry picking sure sounds nice..:thumbsup: |

I wonder if the MINIs reminisce about taking the long boat over from Oxford. :)
MINI 1: Hey you. Dark Silver with the stripes. MINI 2: Yes? MINI 1: Do you think we'll get a meal service on this trip? MINI 2: Nah. That's only on the trans-oceanic voyage. MINI 1: Oh, bummer. What about a movie? Blueberry picking sounds fun. We'll be taking ours (both MINI and daughter) to the pumpkin patch in October. |
I moved
I still post on HR
The dark silver and white in the front row is mine as is the orange classic in the second row..... I had an assistant driver to help build the numbers when we hi-jacked the Jamestown ferry 'twas a blustery day.... |
ferry ride
Took my mini on the Ocrakoke ferry. Since there is only one road on Hatteras, it ends at the ferry dock, so took my mini on a cruise and a ride along the beach, through the maritime forrest to Blackbeards hideway.
2005 mcs with Dinan goodies aboard. I recomend it. |
