| can you see the cable in the water in front of the ferry? |

The Brady E. Himmelman is 27 metres long and 12.8 metres wide and can carry 14 full-size cars. The ferry was named after Captain Himmelman, who carried on a family tradition of ferrying across the LaHave River. He retired in 1982.

I'm loving the Flat People's Adventures, Sara! Even though I live here - and take the ferry almost 3 times a week - I can't get enough of the beautiful place I now call home!
Can't wait for their next day out :)
Love the LaHave Ferry (and eating the yummy baked goods while I'm on it :) Is there still an arts/ crafts store attached to the bakery? Is Gloria down the street still doing her funky paintings? Just planning and dreaming about my trip.......
p.s. the Flat friends look like they ar having a super time -- they are still smiling (and no one has fallen in yet :)
Wow...if I ever get to visit, I want the "Stanley Tour"!
