Up with the sun and an early start. We were thinking of staying another day, but the weather forecast isn't the greatest and is prompting us to move along today. So good bye Boston, she said wistfully.
It was sunny and warm all day, the wind increased all day -- fairly calm through Boston Harbor and Cape Cod Canal, we had the current going with us thru the Canal and then we hit the wall! Going thru Buzzards Bay was the roughest part of the entire trip by far. 4 foot waves every 3 seconds made for a miserable trip, until we came around to Woods Hole. Then it was only sloppy across Vineyard Sound.
We had to wait in the harbor about an hour for the Lagoon Pond Bridge to open for us and soon we
were tying up to our dock, we're home!
Overall it was a good trip, but not one that we would do again. The engine issue hung over Michael like a dark cloud for much of the trip, in areas the stops were few and far between. It would have been nice to have a buddy boat traveling with us. We were lucky, again, to have pretty good weather the whole time. We had some good times, we met some lovely people, we have good memories, and we are glad that we made the trip.
