Time to relax a bit, it’s amazing the way you can think differently, even a short drive from home.
Our first night out we had a wonderful sail to Dutch Harbor, where we spent the night after a long day’s work. We opened a bottle of champagne and sat back and just enjoyed being at anchor.
We had word that one of our daughter’s friends was on Cuttyhunk with her family, so we set out there, even though we expected Northerly conditions would come through in a day that would drive us off the island on Tuesday. But we had another great sail, reaching out to Cutty, while the new Autopilot (more on THAT beast in another post) performed almost flawlessly.
After a fun reunion with friends on Cutty, it was time to look for a place to spend a lay day. We though of Woods Hole, with it’s quaint New England charm but that was not to be. No moorings available, and the “anchoring” was consumed by a mooring field years ago. So it was a screaming reach across to Mattapoisset, where we plan to ride out some Northerlies and weather as we get ready to make the run up to Maine later this week.
