Day 26

After changing the oil & filters on Kevin (our motorhome) we left our free parking spot at WalMart and drove to Foxboro Massachusettts to stay at Normandy Farms RV & Camping Park. What a beautiful place, very well organized and clean. This farm has been in existence since 1759. We plan on making this our base while exploring the Boston Area.

Once we got Kevin hooked up, we took off to visit the Gloucester Harbor. This is where the Andrea Gail Sword fishing boat of the "Perfect Storm" Movie called home.

The monument to the fishermen lost out of Gloucester Harbor was humbling. Almost 10,000 fishermen have been lost since 1623, including the six lost on the Andrea Gail.

Dug checking out the Gloucester Memorial Statue.

This is the plaque honoring the fisher lost at sea from Gloucester Harbor next to the memorial statue.

This fishing boat looks just like the Andrea Gail. This boat looks to be about 75 foot long but way to small to take on an angry Atlantic Ocean.

Here is a look across the harbor at some fishing boats in dry dock being repaired.
