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.

The ferry I took usually only fits 3 cars total, but when I crossed, there was a another mini behind me, so they were able to fit 4 cars.

A guy in his truck was saying with gas prices these days, it was much cheaper for him to take the 3$ ferry than to drive an extra 18 miles to bypass it, but he admitted that probably didn't apply to my car.

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.

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.
