Dave, our beer sherpa
On Wednesday morning, we set off in our Ford Fiesta rental car to see Cap Gris Nez in the daylight. We drove through many cute French towns on our way to the Cap. We stopped for lunch of mussels and pomme frites. We bought a bottle of local beer called 2 Caps (named after Cap Blanc Nez and Cap Gris Nez) to take with us the Cap for a celebratory toast.
The French coast
When we got to the Cap, we had to wait out a brief sun shower at the lighthouse. I had heard from one of the ferry operators that 50 MPH winds were expected. They weren't kidding! We later found out that the ferries were suspended that day.

ferry traveling is always rewarding experience and something everyone should experience it.
