(Texte en français ci-dessous)
Grand Manan would not be Grand Manan without its ferry and its lighthouse. You take one to come, you see the other one when you arrive.
Of course, once on the island, you’ll discover that there are or have been other ferries, and that there are or have been other lighthouses, but because these two were your first encounter, they are the ones that you’ll most strongly keep in your memory.
Images of your first love, in other words, with its particular colors, its perfume of adventure, its exoticism.
It means you don’t always need to go far away to feel far away. It’s sometimes enough to take a boat in a remote terminal at the end of an improbable road, and you are there.
You now feel that the story won’t stop at that, and once on the trail that leads to Swallowtail, you are watching for the moment when the ferry pass off -in the absence of seals or whales, and you know that that’s it, you belong to the island.
