We’ve been holed up in Onset for 5 days now slogged in by fog.  I’m not complaining, it’s the perfect place to ride out a storm or simply rest for a few days at anchor.  It’s just before the western end of the Cape Cod Canal, whose passage needs to be timed carefully with the tides.

Main Street is pretty small, blink and you’ll miss it.  But they have laundry, a small market, and a few good restaurants all within walking distance of the dinghy dock.  Marc Anthony’s has good pizza, and more importantly wifi (crucial to extending a cruiser’s precious cellular data plan).  Cape Cod Lobster Rolls has a killer lobster mac & cheese as well as bacon chili dogs.

Despite the holdup, we’ve had some great visits with our friend Lawrence, and new friends Daniel & Anna.  The fog is finally beginning to lift, so hopefully we’ll escape tomorrow.  The plan is to anchor tomorrow afternoon just south of Plymouth in Warren Cove, and then sail up to Marblehead to pay homage to one of the great sailing capitals of the world.
