Up before 5 am again today. I got the breakfast and lunch picnics made while Sterling prepared the boat for our departure.
We unhooked from the mooring buoy at 545 am and we were off. It was smooth sailing all the way to the entrance of the Cape Cod Canal. Literally smooth sailing, the ocean was like glass. So calm.
We cruised at 15 knots for 102 miles. It was a straight line down the coast for 102 nautical miles. It was another long day but leaving early really helps. We cruised 10 miles offshore and there were still lobster bobbers, but they were infrequent. We were also getting into more trawling.
Given that we lost a few days at the beginning due to bad weather we decided to bypass Gloucester and Boston Massachusetts.
We arrived at Sandwich Marina, the eastern entrance of the Cape Cod Canal at 1230 pm. We made great time and now we had the afternoon to relax. It was sunny and hot and we hit the beach. We found a crab in the water and did some beachcombing and castle building. So much fun.
After the beach we did our grocery shopping to stock back up the boat.
Then we went out for a nice dinner at the Pilot restaurant. We had excellent seafood.
Great catch Noah! Looks like you guys are having an awesome time! Xox
