FridayJuly 6, 2007

Rainy (from yesterday's rig washing) and foggy. Some of the men put a breakfast together that would rival anything Martha Stewart put on while in prison. Lots of pancakes, grilled just the way they wanted to, bacons from a bird and a pig. Juice and coffee, what a way to start the day.
Waves were formed and we hit the road. Fairly good roads up to the KOA near North Sydney. Still raining and foggy but not hampering the drive. Got parked and carpooled up to Baddeck to lunch and the Alexander Graham Bell museum. Good intersting self guided tour. Lots of displays showed just how many different enterprises he was into. His wife did a lot towards promoting Canadian aviation in the early 1900s. His efforts with the deaf, developement of a hydrofoil, airplanes, and many other projects were lesser known that his invention of the telephone, but just as noteworthy. Beautiful country in this area; we'll get to see more of it tomorrow.
Too wet for a formal happy hour so we just hung out at the rigs. Long day tomorrow.
