We decided to sleep in again today. Once we got moving, we asked Terri for a lunch recommendation downtown. She suggested the Common Ground Cafe. The restaurant is designed so that you feel like you’re eating in a treehouse. We had a great healthy lunch (served by hippie-types) and then walked over to the Hyannis Harbor to catch our 4 hour fishing trip with Hy-Line cruises.
We boarded the boat, were handed our rods and found us some seats. The captain took us out about 45 minutes into the ocean and we then spent the next 2-1/2 hours fishing. Karen nor I like to touch bait but we had to this time. We just told ourselves that it was cooked chicken when in fact it actually was clams. Later on we also fished with crabs and some other oily fishy bait. The guy next to us caught a fish each time he put his rod in the water. I quickly caught a fish, and then Karen caught 3 more. We were catching porgies (AKA scup) which have to be 10.5 inches before you can keep them. I would have caught more had I not gotten sea sick. The boat was rocking really bad because of the huge waves pounding us from every direction. Karen tells me that about half the people on the boat were looking pretty sick, and many of them were sitting inside with their heads down on the tables. The ride back was very quick, and we got soaked by the waves, but didn’t want to head inside with all the sickies. We gave our fishes away to somebody on the boat, and I hope he had a good fish fry.
When we got back to the hotel, we asked Al for a dinner recommendation somewhere near Falmouth, since you can see the sunset over on that side of the island. He suggested The Flying Bridge. We enjoyed our delicious marinated steak tips on the waterfront, where all the beautiful people dock their magnificent boats and dine. After dinner, we chased the sun to a private beach in Quissett and enjoyed a lovely sunset. And how does one end an evening in Cape Cod … at a Christmas Tree Shops of course.
