MV Caribou Docking in Port Aux Basques Newfoundland

[stmbfl]

I'm sure going to miss the ol faithful Caribou going home this summer! HATE the vision...terrible set up and very confusing!

[iTalkApple96]

[jjtly123]

Sorry, we took the ferry from Sidney to Port Aux Basque then drove to Hearts Delight! :)

[sweetlead71]

So enjoyed watching this!....Was in Nflnd 28 years ago to see my mother's homeland. Beautiful land and people...we took the ferry from Port Aux Basques, what memories. Thanks for this beautiful video.

This was the only Marine Atlantic vessel I've been on for the past three years...the last time I was on a Marine Atlantic vessel other than the MV Caribou was the MV Leif Ericson (from Port aux Basques to North Sydney) in the summer of 2006.
