Early rise. We ran over to the Bluenose ticket office for 720 am to wait in line to get on the stand by list for the morning sail on the schooner. We were second in line and unfortunately we didn't get on. Oh well, off for a morning at the museum.
We enjoyed a hearty breakfast at the Salty Sailor. Then we spent the morning exploring the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic. We touched starfish, scallops and mussels in the touch tank, learned about the Bluenose and saw the trophies she won, learned fish facts, saw lots of fishing gear and a pretend stage. Mommy even got to help launch a schooner. The highlight for Noah was exploring the 2 fishing vessels on the wharf- a fishing schooner and a long liner from the 1980s. He loved exploring all the cabins, the bridge, the galley and the engine room of the 2 vessels.
Awesome fish and scallops at the Fish Shack (thanks Alannah for the recommendations). We have enjoyed some great food in Lunenberg.
The town is Unesco Heritage town. It is very well kept up. The houses are freshly painted in very bright colours. It is a very nice town.

Noah and Sterling explored the harbour front a bit more and took a horse carriage tour of the town while I chaired a conference call for work.
Late afternoon and time to get some groceries.
We also discovered a local distillery called Ironworks. It is located in an old blacksmith shop. The gin is very smooth.
There was a map at the museum that depicts the area we have been boating this summer.
