The morning brought a lobster boat pulling traps. I motioned for him to come over and asked if we could buy 2 lobsters from him. He said, Ok, “How about $15.” I gave him $20 plus a Sailing Dreams CD for our first lobster dinner onboard in Maine. After one last search for the AWOL […]

Bryan sent his drone up above the layer of fog so we could see the island, Isle au Haut and nearby islands. In the early evening after having a margarita he decided to see how high and how far the drone could go. Well, the low battery light flashed on the control panel, and the […]

We were both tired and glad to see the coast of ragged island where we could anchor, have a hot meal, and rest before continuing on to Seal Trap Cove. I was surprised to be ready to sail again so soon, but we were blessed with fair winds and tides in our favor. Also a […]

We had rowed the dinghy to shore and walked to the strip of beach that is the very tip of Cape Cod. When we left to cross over to Maine at 6 am, that tip of beach was covered with seals who sang an energetic farewell as we departed Cape Cod. The 30-hour crossing from […]

We bid adeau to David at Little Harbor where we borrowed a pair of folding bicycles from his neighbor. We set sail to Pocasset with a breif stop to say hello to John and Mary. John had rowed over when we were moored there to give us some advice on our motor issues, and it […]

With only a 36 hour notice, David and Paula brought in a surprisingly full turnout for their pop-up house in Woods Hole.  I played my Emerald harp guitar and Pepe Romero little mango travel guitar to an enthusiastic audience. Bryan sang with me on Favorable Winds and played some supertreble notes. Thank you David and […]

Still on land, as Bryan is getting electrical repairs done on the boat, etc. He’s been getting up early for the Breakfast Club of interesting people who meet in Woods Hole. David sent invitations for the house concert we decided to do, and I got acquainted with my new Pepe Romero Jr little mango travel […]

After replacing the starter, the boat fired up for us to move to a mooring where we can row to a dock within a 20 minute walk of David and Paula’s house. However, when Bryan tried to start the motor again… only clicks. It turns out the starter was not the only gremlin, and Boatworx […]

David from Woods Hole picked us up and brought us to his home where he is hosting a family band from Brazil, Choro das 3. Paula made us all a wonderful dinner, and we jammed into the evening, opting to stay there on land for the night instead of going back to the boat. David […]
