a.m. 58F, drove most of way eastward across island. Stopped at Green Park Shilpbuilding Museum. Location, on N coast of PEI is at home of James Yeo. He was a carter in Cornwall, but his horse died so he was out of work and starving, so emigrated to PEI about 1820. Worked as shipyard worker, eventually owned shipyards, died in 1867 richest man in PEI. Good interpretive museum and videos about PEI and shipbuilding, but their reproduction shipyard burned down over last winter. Reached campground at St. Peters on N coast about 3:30, took a bike ride on adjacent Centennial Trail, a rail-to-trail which extends from end to end of the island. Not paved, but hard packed gravel no problem for our 28mm tires. Campground overlooks beautiful St. Peters Bay. Fewer mosquitos here.
