Day 24, Wednesday, October 7, 2009











This morning, we had a casual breakfast and mostly relaxed. We had some serious rain overnight and it was continuing intermittently. Bob and I drove to North Attleboro to a locksmith where I had a couple sets of trailer keys made (I lost one set in Bar Harbor).




After lunch, we suplemented our experience in wooden boats from yesterday with a visit to the Whaling Museum at New Bedford, MA. The museum focused on how whales were/are harvested (the politically correct term), the products made from the whales, and whales in general. It is a very interesting and educational museum.




We went out for an early dinner of Seafood at Davey's Locker there in New Bedford. They serve the best fried clams I have ever eaten, and the fish was great also.




We drove down to Sandwich which is located just across the bridge over the Cape Cod Canal, and did a little shopping at The Christmas Shops, a store similar to Pier 51.




The rain let up by late morning, but the wind picked up. The weather report indicated wind gusts of 45 and some damage around the area. Nothing here at the Peterson's except lots of pine needles on the ground.
