The remodeling of the Canopy room at The Captain’s Manor Inn has begun with the demolition of one of the closets in the room and the bathroom. A new expansive bathroom will be added onto the Canopy room as part of the broader expansion and renovation of the Inn. Below are some pictures showing the work in progress.
Stay tuned for blog updates and we hope to have a webcam in place later in October to show the work in progress on the exterior of the Inn. We look forward to sharing all of our updated accomodations news from here in wonderful Falmouth, Ma.

What a wonderful event ! The 2011 Jazzfest in Falmouth ran from September 20th until October 2nd. My personal favorite part was the Jazz Stroll on Friday, September 30 th from 6-10pm. This free event included 12 different groups performing at various indoor and outdoor venues at Queen’s Buyway and along Main Street. The picture below is of the group Rosemary Ramos Trio who played at Bojangles retail store just around the corner from The Captain’s Manor Inn. What a talented young group of people!

Just 3 miles down the road from The Captain’s Manor Inn in Falmouth is the Woods Hole Science Aquarium which has two new exciting exhibits. “Sounds of the Sea” features whale and other marine animal sounds in an interactive display and “Albatross: A Legacy of Research” features the 46 year career of the 187 foot research vessel Albatross IV. Albatross IV sailed from Woods Hole from 1962 until its retirement and decommissioning in 2008. The display includes many items including three main panels each with a video display above highlighing the seafarers, the ship itself and the science it accomplished.
The Aquarium is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 AM to 4 PM. Admission is free, but donations are accepted.

Fall has come early this year thanks to Hurricane Irene (aka Tropical Storm Irene). This is a picture on Hurricane day taken on Grand Avenue in Falmouth.
Grand Avenue - Falmouth Heights Beach
We were fortunate at The Captain’s Manor Inn compared to so many as we only lost our internet, phones and cable for a little over 24 hours. The storm stirred up so much salt in the air that the tree leaves were coated with the salt which proceeded to suck the moisture right out of the leaves and they have been falling ever since. Some pictures of the storm impact are shown below as well as a picture of our son Kevin finally getting to trim the front yard boxwood shrubs after doing storm cleanup.

Batten down the hatches!!! Irene is on her way and we have been getting ready. Yesterday we had the 2nd floor and cupola windows boarded up. Of course timing is everything…because we have been planning a bridal party for 25 women with the mother of the bride and several of her friends…and Irene decides to join the party. As you will see in some pictures below they are boarding up the windows while we are setting up the veranda for the bridal shower!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Boarding up for Hurricane Irene
A picture below of the finished product with The Captain’s Manor Inn all boarded up. Who knew staying at our bed & breakfast could be such an adventure 
Captain's Manor Inn hurricane ready
Kevin also thought he might like to park his truck in the garage and my car under the veranda……..as you can see the car idea was not going to work but a valiant effort.

We are soon going to have new additions to the wildlife family of The Captain’s Manor Inn…
The Japanese Pine at the end of the veranda looks innocent enough

Then you get closer and you will see the Dove who is protecting her eggs

Many of our guests at The Captain’s Manor Inn enjoy the outdoors during their time in Falmouth, Cape Cod. Outdoor activities include hiking spots such as Beebe Woods or Spohr Gardens, biking on the Shining Sea bikeway, walking the village main street, swimming over at Surf Drive beach and kayaking. Cape Cod Kayak located in the village of Cataumet in Falmouth has been a favorite of our guests in terms of equipment rentals and tours. So next time you visit perhaps you might like to try a new outdoor adventure and head over to Cape Cod Kayak to see some of our beautiful seashore from a new angle.
