Gone With The Wind

Well, I'll confess, I've kind of let this blog go recently. We've really just been plugging along recently, as we left Maine and got through the Cape Cod Canal. We went from Monhegan/Banana to Jewel Island. Jewel's a pretty, small island but pales in comparison with what we saw in Mt. Dessert! It's very popular with weekend campers and a very well protected anchorage for cruisers! From Jewel we went to Gloucester. Gloucester was a little run down, but there was a great grocery store within walking distance of boat! The other good thing about Gloucester, was that we ran into friends that we'd met on Sommesville, Jay and Rene aboard Minx! From Gloucester, we went to Plymouth. Plymouth was a difficult cruising spot, as it's an hour motor from the bay into a very crowded and unprotected anchorage. It is a pretty little town and of course, is home to an abundance of American historical sites. It's the first time we've been HOT since May!!! Isn't that obnoxious? Anyway, we did enjoy trudging around town, but would not recommend it to fellow cruisers. We left Plymouth early afternoon and got through the canal smoothly. Dropped the hook in Onsett and had a quiet, uneventful night in that lovely anchorage!
