[Click here if you missed yesterday’s epic post with 60 photos.] Blog followers may have noticed that we tend to set up random goals when we arrive to someplace new. You may remember we were running out of time at Warderick Wells in the Bahamas so we decided to do all the trails on the … Continue reading »

Goowd Aftahnoon! (Said in my best Downeast drawl) We’ve been busy since we announced our arrival in Pretty Marsh Harbor. My dad visited us from last Wednesday night till yesterday morning, and throughout that time we’ve been staying busy all day long. The weather for the most part was glorious, and we used just about … Continue reading »

Like most folks visiting Boston, we did the “Freedom Trail.”  Rather than take a paid tour, we headed to the National Park headquarters in Faneuil Hall and found out that they have several different ranger guided tours that are open to the public. If there’s one thing that we’ve come to love on this cruise, … Continue reading »

On Saturday morning we left Provincetown in a brisk 20 knot breeze. Running on a broad reach with full sail we were having a great sail, then it started to get a little gusty…. Once the gusts reached about 30 knots we pulled in the main, and then when the gusts got more frequent we … Continue reading »

When we left Onset on Thursday morning we were headed for Boston. It should be no surprise to readers of this blog that instead of Boston, we were walking around the streets of Provincetown Thursday afternoon. (Weather, wind, timing, and suddenly we ended up in Provincetown.) In a hint at the surprising things to come, … Continue reading »

Now that the rain has cleared, we have clear skies and cool temperatures. Unfortunately, there isn’t much wind, and Hurricane Leslie is sending large swells north to Maine. Rather than deal with that, we’ve decided to spend a few days in Boston. We figured there would be plenty to do in town to keep us … Continue reading »

[We’ve been hanging out in Onset for the last couple days while the remnants of Isaac sweep through bringing tons of rain. We’ve also been waiting to see which way Hurricane Leslie is going to turn next weekend. The waiting and watching may have driven me mad. They say there’s a poet in every sailor, … Continue reading »

Happy Labor Day, everyone! Hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend and the unofficial end of summer. For the start of the weekend, we set up camp in Hadley Harbor for a few days. On Thursday, we made the exciting dinghy trip across Woods Hole Passage into the little town of Woods Hole. The passage … Continue reading »

On Saturday Jay and I explored the Herreshoff Marine Museum in Bristol. The museum is well worth visiting, you have the opportunity to see a bunch of classic yachts and board three of them to see how it might have been to sail in the early 1900’s. In addition, the museum houses the America’s Cup … Continue reading »

Anyone closely following our Spot path yesterday probably thought we were lost. We weren’t lost, we were just searching for freshwater to fill our tanks, and apparently the best way to do that around here is to sail around until you see a water hose on a dock…. Rhode Island has plenty of free pumpout … Continue reading »
