Plymouth Harbor is in clear sight from Nelson Park. Due south, ten minutes. Captain John Boats, day fishing boats that put a lot of lines into the water. My wife, Donie, loved going out on them.

Something new, to me at least, a Paddlewheel boat harbor cruise.

Whats interesting, the rear mounted paddle-wheel is actually two separate wheels that turn independently. The port side can be going forward while the starboard wheel is turning in reverse. Nifty.

Of course there’s the Mayflower II.

The Pilgrims used plywood?

Moored alongside the modern yachts, a pilgram longboat.

I can say for certain, without doubt, that either I or one of my friends in the business know the person who owns this boat.

Those who aren’t in my old industry (VoIP doesn’t count) have no idea what I’m talking about.

And finally, end of the breakwater, end of the trip, end of the day…fishing time.
