Tug Boat and Barge on the Cape Cod Canal

Tug Boat Pulls a Barge through the Cape Cod Canal

Mom and I checked out the Cape Cod Canal at the Sandwich Marina closely today. We heard that whales were going through on Friday and we hoped that we would see one today. It was also an excuse to snack on the blueberry muffins that we picked up at the nearby Stop and Shop.

We were there about 10 am and it was quiet on the water. Then we saw a bright red tugboat entering the canal. It was pulling a barge filled with containers. We watched it for awhile and decided that it was time to head out. We didn't see much traffic coming in either direction.
