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 [...]

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!

Trolls

Cuttyhunk

16 August 2017
So Cuttyhunk is a beautiful little island off the coast of Massachusetts. Frank and I went here 33 years ago when we were cruising. It's one of the few places that we've revisited! It's a popular cruising destination because of its proximity to Newport, its completely protected anchorage, its cliffs and its beaches. All this and I don't have a single picture of the place! We had a great stroll around the island. Waited in line to buy ice cream from a girl serving it out of a little trailer. Ate pizza at a BYOB place on picnic tables in the shade. These are the most popular eating establishments on Cuttyhunk and were just perfect for us. We went swimming for the first time since we left in May...and it was still pretty damn cold!!
