On Our Way!

We departed Cole's Island pier at about 8am today, racing a low tide that threatened to run us aground.  Threading the sandbars to get out of Essex Bay (photo courtesy of our neighbor Debe!):

 

I headed to Gloucester Harbor and met Jen and good friend Vickie for some final supplies (thanks to Vickie for driving Jen to the harbor on a Sunday morning!).  We had pretty much a perfect day for crossing Massachusetts Bay.  Sunny, in the 70s, and the wind was out of the northeast at about 10 knots, so we could steer a straight line to the "Irish Riviera" (Boston's south shore) with the wind at our quarter.   We ended up in Green Harbor in Marshfield, MA.  On to Cape Cod tomorrow.  Hopefully more days ahead like this one!  Jen in Green Harbor:
