While traversing the Cape Cod Canal, we cruised under a unique Railroad Bridge. Built as a WPA project, its span raises to a height of 135 ft above the water. When it was built, the railroad carried passengers to Cape Cod from the mainland. Today it most often used by the train removing garbage from Cape Cod. Just off the Cape Cod Canal lies Onset Island where friends Martha and Steve have owned one of the island’s 54 cottages for over 30 years. After Steve drove us to the grocery store, liquor store and showed us around the area, they tendered over for a tour of the boat and invited us back to their home for a New England lobster dinner, complete with stuffed quahog clams, steamers and lobsters. It was quite a party as their daughter Emily and her friend John were visiting for the weekend. Once again, great to catch up with friends from home.
