Travel to Tashmoo Lake

We departed Marblehead and motor sailed to Plymouth, MA. As we were sailing past Boston and down the coast, we couldn't help but notice the haze. Then, when we were anchoring, we saw this incredible SUN. This is not your typical "red sky at night, as sailor's delight". It looked more like a rising full [...]

Marblehead

As I mentioned, Marblehead has become one of our favorite cruising destinations this year. We arrived Saturday) of their big "Race Week". We knew it was going to be crowded and we also new that it was going to be rainy on Sunday. So, we dropped the DINGHY in the water, mounted the engine, changed our [...]

Isle of Shoals

So, we left Maine today (sniff). We spent our last night in Isle of Shoals. It's a wonderful little atoll about 10 miles off the coast. A couple of the islands are in Maine and a couple of the islands are in NEW HAMPSHIRE!

This Ole Boat

Old is a relative term. Twenty eight years old doesn't sound too bad by my standards, but for a sailboat that has spent its 28 years in the corrosive environment of salt water, 28 years is older than dirt!

Sweet Chariot Festival44

02 August 2017
We have been hearing about the Sweet Chariot Music Festival since we arrived in Maine. It's a three night performance in a little place called Burnt Coat, on Swan's Island. Burnt Coat is a tiny lobstering village accessible, only by boat. We arrived in the fog Wednesday morning and were greeted by our Pensacola cruising friends, Joanne and Jim aboard "Grayce". Believe it or not, another boat was there from Pensacola - Dave aboard "Restless"! It was fun being in the anchorage and watching boats arrive - some with the evening's performers and some filled with people like us, just coming in to watch the show! About 4:00 PM, the entire anchorage was serenaded by a large contingency of the show's performers, as they motored around the anchorage, singing their hearts out (is that redundant?) We went to the festival together that evening and had a blast! It was a rousing, foot stomping, sing along of sorts...much talent and much fun!
