FRIDAY THE 13TH
We left Chick's Marina in Kennybunkport by 6am at slack tide heading to Rockport, MA or Gloucester, MA. Everything depended upon the weather. The conditions were better than anticipated so we quickly approached Cape Ann and had to make a decision where to head to. Jane checked the weather again and saw a forecast of 2-3 days of heavy winds and seas larger than we want to cruise in so we didn't want to get stuck in either destination. Peter quickly charted a course to Scituate Harbor across Massachusetts Bay. The sea conditions were again better than expected and better than our cruise out of Rockland, ME. Unfortunately we could see fog in the distance so radar and fog horn were turned on. It's amazing haw quickly boating comes back after a break. It's quite like riding a bicycle. Once we approached the Boston shipping lanes the fog just lifted and it turned out to be a beautiful afternoon. We were escorted to our mooring ball by Fran, in charge of Scituate Launch.
The photos of our arrival in Scituate harbor were taken by our friends, Mark & Mary, aboard "The Good Life". Our arrival in Scituate was on Friday the 13th and as luck would have it we did not leave until the following Wednesday! The weather remained very windy out of the west which is not good transiting the Cape Cod Canal from East to West so we enjoyed our wait time having a few meals ashore, laundry, and provisioning. We had a nice visit from another boating friend, Aedan Gleeson and his brother Declan.
