Thunder, wind and rain has Dutchess surrounded by water this morning. After breakfast we head into town to visit the Hector and the Interpretive Center. The original Hector arrived in 1773 with 179 settlers from the Scottish Highlands. The ship is very small for that number of people and the conditions that they must have endured on their 2 month passage were hard to imagine.
By noon we had the wagon train assembled and the 4 of us were on our way to stay at the Bras d'or Lakes campground just south of Beddeck.
