If your final destination is Digby and area, or southwestern NS in general, it makes a lot of sense. If you were doing it as a shortcut between SJ and Halifax, the value is a lot more questionable. I would drive in that circumstance.

Thanks very much. Our last night in NS is off grid near Hampton (60km northeast of Digby). I booked the ferry. Even if it were a little more expensive than the long 7 hour drive, its a good excuse to get some Digby scallops, and the boat trip will be a nice experience for my friend who's never been to Atlantic Canada. Hopefully, we'll see some whales.
