Damp Digby

It rained all night - at least whenever I was awake enough to notice - and the downpour continued all morning. It was cold and grey and windy - I wasn't going anywhere today after yesterdays toils.

I'm not sure there's much to do in Digby (The scallop capital of the world) at the best of times - on a wet Sunday, there's nothing. The highlight of my morning was drying my wet things in the tumble-drier. the rest of the time I was confined to my sleeping bag (to keep warm) with only my friend/foe Auracaria for company.

At 2 pm even the rain had to stop for a rest, so I took the opportunity to take a ride out into town, and see if anything was open in Digby. Not much. I had time to explore the waterfront and Fisherman's Wharf before the rain started again so I went into the Shoreline Restaurant for their special of the day - not surprisingly - a scallop dinner. I just couldn't go back and sit in my damp little cabin after dinner but what else could I do in the rain. I had no choice but to sample a couple of the local ales in the Dockside Bar.
