This was kind of a long run, 8 hour trip which was very very foggy at the onset, running with radar, and intense watching for 3 hours, then the weather cleared and seas went from smooth w/swells, to small chop. We saw one boat visually, and there were several on radar that we never actually saw. Why is it always foggy in Maine??
Easy trip after that and sunny. Came thru Annisquam River and 3 bridges into Gloucester Harbor. Favorable current north to south @1:30 pm supposedly, but current was against us at Railroad Bridge and strong against us at Blyman Canal bridge. Called harbormaster and got the last available mooring for the night -- Mooring SC-1 (Smith Cove 1) which is a great spot so remember. Fueled up almost 200 gallons. Then it rained.
We were maybe going in to meet Spud & Mary Alice Mansur for dinner, but nixed that because of the rain.
Instead of going all around Cape Ann, you can route thru the Anisquam River and Blynman Canal.
