Been to many places in my life but spending time at the canal any time of year is my favorite.

I was born and raised on the Cape, but have lived in several locations far away for many years. But even after more than 50 years , when I drive over the Sagamore Bridge, I'm home.

I loved watching this video. Thanks! I lived on Williston Rd. in Sagamore Beach for over 34 years. Graduated from Bourne High School, and Mass. Maritime Academy. I served in the US Marine Corps while a resident there as well. We moved to coastal Downeast Maine (beyond Bar Harbor) in 2004. While living in Bourne, I used to keep a mooring for my sailboat in Pocasset, and had a boat slip at Sandwich Marina. The Harbor Master at Sandwich Marina back then was Greg Fayne (a neighbor in Sagamore Beach and former fellow classmate from Mass. Maritime Academy). The area where I live now in Maine has much to offer, but I do quite often miss living in Bourne. Great memories!

I wonder if Greg Fayne is related to Mark Fayne. Mark grew up in Bourne, MA, played hockey at Providence College, then went on to the NHL. I caddied for him at our annual NJ Devils outing - the team's last bit of off-season fun before camp - at my country club a few miles from "The Rock," the Devil's home arena in Newark. We have all kinds of pro athletes at the club over the course of the season - charity outings, a really fun Jets - Giants rivalry event, and our pro athlete members and their pro athlete friends. NHL guys are consistently the nicest, the most down to Earth, and great tippers, too. Mark was no exception, just as nice as could be. He told me about an early experience with the devils. The team was hosting some fans, who were given souvenir hockey sticks; they're all white for signatures. On one of the sticks, Marty signed his name near the top of the shaft. Mark signed just below Marty. Unfortunately, Mark, the new guy, is left - handed, and dragged his hand over much of Marty's fresh signature, smearing it to the point of illegibility. The new guy had defaced the signature of the Devil's most revered player !

@@CeePeeDee7190 : I have no idea of any such relation but it very well may be possible. BTW - I'm also Shoestring Shipyard Sailing - that's my secondary RU-vid channel. I just noticed that when I replied to your query, I was logged in under my Downeast Thunder Creations account.

This was great! My daughter is doing g a project on the canal at school and this has a lot of great information put together nicely. It was great to hear it from a personal point of view versus just reading facts from a book or website. It really helped us understand and appreciate the canal.

Awesome job. Loved it. Didn't want it to end.

@jamesjannell8706 2 года назад

Thank you. That was a great piece and knowing how it all started. I will think differently about this majestic water way each weekend as I pass over to some of my Fav fishing sites.

I wrote and recorded a song that Corp of Engineers (Bill Norman Cape Cod Canal Army Corps of Engineers) used in the early 90s at the visitors center in a slide show display. The song “Dream of the Ages” told story of the canal.

I have been crossing the Sagamore Bridge since the 50's. Spent summers in Chatham where my mother spent part of her childhood.

@digitaldirtnap1 3 года назад

I think he means they dug from north and south. If you know the cape you know what I mean.

@agnieszkaknutel497 3 года назад

Where does the Cape Cod begin ? Before the bridge or after the bridge..?

@pas42hfd 4 года назад

It’s to bad that most modern day merchant ships are to big to travers the canal anymore.

@postalfnj 9 лет назад
