Provincetown to Nantucket; the final leg
12 August 2015 | Nantucket Harbor
beautiful
We were up and underway at 6am. The wind has dropped and it is a nice day with improving conditions. Things are starting to turn our way. Wind is actually out of WSW at 8-10 making getting out of Ptown favorable. Put our main up right away and got a quick a start as possible. Things are looking up as we have strong fair tide and we are making 8.2K close hauled. We can see the front passing from NW to SE just ahead of us so we are in sunny weather and it is clearing ahead of us.
There she is!!!! The first sight of the Grey Lady is Great Point. We are making great time with the fair tide but the wind has gone SW and we are right into it. Looks like we will make the mooring by 4:30.
Got all the hatches open and drying the boat out. Cleaning up as we go. Moby is packing and I am getting all the laundry and cleaning everything up and writing this blog as we sail the final leg of the journey.
For those of you who have been reading this blog, stay tuned for the conclusion. I have been waiting for this trip for a long time and I have some thoughts that I will share in a conclusion. Also, I have some pictures that are stuck on my cell phone that I will bring over and post on the individual blogs so look out for them.
Made the mooring by 4:30 and were fast and cleaned up quickly. Ended the trip with a couple of beers on the foredeck in the bean bags. Chatter on ch66 is that someone noticed Meow was back. Within a half hour EJ and JD had stopped by for a beer and Moby headed off to have dinner with his parents.
Called Beth for a pickup and was home by 6:30. Couldn’t stop the living room from rocking around. It will take a few days to get my land legs.
Stay tuned for the conclusion.
