- Worth noticing
- It distinguishes the roughly seven-hour Port aux Basques route from the closer-to-sixteen-hour Argentia run, and flags vehicle space as an early booking concern.
Field notes
Groulx frames the site as advice she would give a cousin before a crossing, based on repeat trips to visit family. Its navigation separates route information from cabins and vehicles, planning, and FAQs. The homepage says the shorter Port aux Basques trip takes about seven hours when conditions allow, while the Argentia run is closer to sixteen; it also stresses that vehicle capacity can become the limiting factor.
