THIS SHOWS YOU THE SHAPE OF CAPE COD AND THE DISTANCE TO THE ISLANDS.
MARTHA'S VINEYARD IS ONE HOUR BY FERRY.
NANTUCKET IS THREE HOURS ON THE SAME FERRY.
THIS IS THE LIGHTHOUSE IN YARMOUTH.
A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THE PICTURESQUE CAPE.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DEPEND ON THE SEA FOR THEIR
LIVING HERE, JUST AS THEY ALWAYS HAVE ON CAPE COD.
THE BEACHES ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL HERE AND VERY CALM
AS WE ARE ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE CAPE.
THE OPEN OCEAN SIDE ON THE EAST, GETS LOTS OF STORMS THAT CAUSE EROSION.
THIS IS THE BIGGEST INDUSTRY AFTER FISHING ON THE CAPE.
THERE IS THANKSGIVINGS CRANBERRY SAUCE IN THE RAW.
WE HAVE NOW LEFT THE WEST SIDE AND THIS IS THE LIGHTHOUSE AT NAUSET BEACH.
YOU DON'T THINK OF SEALS OFF CAPE COD,
BUT HERE THEY ARE, ON MONOMOY BEACH..
HERE IS A MAN, PROBABLY FOURTH OR FIFTH GENERATION,
MAKING HIS LIVING DIGGING AND RAKING QUAHOGS.
I SEE THESE BEAUTIFUL SCALLOPS WITH THE RAKE BEHIND THEM
AND I WANT FRIED SCALLOPS. MUST BE TIME TO EAT.
THIS IS THE WINDING STAIRWELL ON THE INSIDE OF THE LIGHTHOUSE AT RACEPOINT
IN PROVINCETOWN.
THAT'S THE LIGHTHOUSE WE ARE LOOKING AT FROM INSIDE
THE RESTAURANT. I KNEW I WAS HUNGRY.
THIS MONUMENT, DEDICATED TO ALL THE FISHERMEN, IS ON THE SOUTHERN MOST POINT
OF CAPE COD. IT IS ON RACEPOINT IN PROVINCETOWN.
I THINK WE NEED TO PULL THE CHEVY UP TO THIS FULL SERVICE
GAS STATION. WE HAVE COME 100 MILES SINCE WE CROSSED THE BRIDGE.
AS YOU CAN SEE, SOME OF THE OLD CAPE CODDERS DON'T TAKE KINDLY TO CHANGE.
IT WOULD BE NICE TO EXPLORE THE OLD GRIST MILL
BUT WE ARE HEADING BACK UP TO FALMOUTH AND OUR REST STOP FOR THE NIGHT
WE ARE GETTING THE FIRST FERRY OUT IN THE MORNING.
IT LEAVES AROUND 6:00 EXCEPT IN THE WINTER.
WE HAVE A THREE HOUR RIDE ON THE FERRY TOMORROW.
HERE IS OUR INN FOR THE NIGHT. THE CAPE IS FULL OF QUAINT PLACES TO STAY.
I LIKE THE LITTLE CAPE COD HOUSE ACROSS THE STREET
IT IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE CAPE.
HERE IS THE CHRISTMAS HOUSE,
I WONDER IF THE HOUSES THEY BUILD TODAY WILL BE HERE IN 250 YEARS?
WELL, SLEEP TIGHT. THE SEA AIR AND THE FOG HORNS WILL LULL YOU TO SLEEP TONIGHT.
SEE YOU IN THE MORNING.
