Our sail from Provincetown to the Cape Cod Canal was almost identical to two years ago, just a little bit less wind. Strong northeasterlys and following seas gave us a sleigh ride all the way down using just the jib. Despite the crummy foggy and drizzly start to the morning, the weather cleared as we entered the canal. We anchored behind Wicketts Island in Onset and went ashore to meet Leslie, who had come down from Boston to spend the weekend with us. We did a late lunch on shore, and then went back to the boat to enjoy the near-full harvest moon from the cockpit with music, wine, and chocolate.
Leslie had to leave Sunday morning, but Jen and Anne had driven down in the meantime for brunch. We discovered that the newly opened Glen Cove Inn (restored by a local family) where we ate, was featuring a blues band in their basement bar that afternoon that we couldn’t miss, so Trip and I went there after Jen and Anne headed back to Boston. A fun, full & exhausting day.
And to top things off Joy was able to stop by the boat Monday night after work for a few cocktails and apps. We had packed a lot of socializing into a few days with amazing weather, and it was time to move on.
