JULY 21, 2007
As it turns out New Bedford is mostly a commercial harbor. Among other things it is home of the largest commercial scallop fishing fleet in the eastern US. We are surrounded by all kinds of commercial fishing boats. Today, Walter, manager of "Evergreen", was very kind and volunteered to take us around to the ice house for some block ice and then on the the grocery store. Can you believe we got 100 pounds of block ice for eight dollars? Even though we were at a commercial marina everyone went out of their way to make us feel at home --- it just reminded us as to one of the reasons why we like boating.
