pared with European ferries.

Try crossing the English Chan-
nel with a car. Take serious
money.

On arrival, it is hard to see the
island for the realtors’ signs.
Clear-cut view is a hundred grand
and waterfront half a million.

Just think what the plumbers
charge, assuming you can get
them out of the Hummingbird
pub. Renting never had so much
appeal.

Summer cottages are for relax-
ing, although the Sally Anne
chairs don’t encourage prolonged
sitting, and the small dog is a
worry because two eagles ona
nearby tree gaze at him like can-

. nibals on a cruise ship checking

the j passenger list.

Golf is the answer, which calls
fora visit to the nine-hole course,
where there is a warm welcome. °
Reservations are not necessary but
you could call (539-5533) to check

TRAVEL

A provincial park at Montague
Harbour has campsites and a good
beach with boat-launching ramp.

The marina store nearby was
being rebuilt after the Hum-
mingbird’s ‘‘pub bus’’ ran out of
brakes and fanded on the roof,

Not far from here is Sutil _
Lodge, a charming 1920s guest
house, a little more faded than
elegant, but affording beautiful
sunset views. B&B with shared
facilities is $65 to $75.

The owners have a 46-foot
catamaran which does four-hour
picnic cruises for $30.

Woodstone Country Inn, back
towards Sturdies Bay, is quite
different; newish, no water views,
and rooms from $80 to $130.

All have private baths, and
breakfast and afternoon tea is in-
cluded.

The dining room has a new
menu every day. About $25 per ©
person for dinner, and it looked
tempting.

After golf we got back to find
great excitement on the beach.
One of our neighborhood eagles
had given up on the dog and
decided to try fishing.

it splashed down into the ocean
50 yards out, caught a salmon,
dropped it on the rocks, and in
the most unfriendly manner pro-
ceeded to tear its head off.

Satisfied with that, the eagle

tree nearby. We watched and
waited. They seemed to have lost
interest in the fish.

Then an army of crabs started
to move in, and when a couple of
crows took a close look there,was
no doubt about who shouid be the
scavenger — us.

The fish, a plump coho of
about four pounds, was taken in-
side, cleaned and cooked. It was
delicious, and so the eagles were . -

We had the answer. The lef.
