Cloudy am, beautiful pm

Woke up to Doug cooking bacon and Moby swabbing down the deck. Someone tracked in mud last night and it was obviously bothering him. Lucy baked some fresh pastry and our last breakfast together was enjoyable in the aft dining area.
Doug and Lucy were picked up at 11:30 and Moby and I picked up a few last minute provisions. This is the last shopping spot until Nantucket. We sailed to Pulpit Harbor on Northhaven Island. It is a beautiful anchorage with only private homes surrounding the harbor. It would be a great hurricane hole; totally protected.
We got in at 2:30 and both took a nap. I feel asleep in a double bagger on the foredeck and Moby in his cabin. Steaks on board tonight and early bed. Tomorrow we are leaving at sunrise to head out into the Atlantic to head directly to Nantucket. It should take us about 36 hours at sea at the most.
I am just finishing this blog and it’s cocktail hour so I am going to sign off. Stay tuned for the summary. In the meantime………..”Here’s to a fast ship, a fair wind and a lass that loves a sailor.”
