Making tracks

We have truly begun our voyage. Covered a lot of ground in the past two days. After a really nice send-off in Maine with Matt, Sloane, and Cutler we awoke before the crack of dawn to get a 5am start on the trip to Isles of Shoals. Poached a mooring at Gosport Harbor. I'll let Ellen and Moss give details about that trip. It was a motorboat ride because the winds were light and the seas were flat.

Went for a swim in the super clean water in Gosport Harbor, took showers in the cockpit, had boat-pizza for dinner. I was asleep by 9pm.

Today we left Isles of Shoals at 5am, headed for Scituate. Again, I'll let Moss and Ellen provide the details. Both days we have seen some pretty special sea life.

I lived in Scituate in 1991 when I was working at my first job as a teacher at Hull High School. I told the launch driver this afternoon that it was one of the worst years of my life. Those kids at Hull were absolutely awful. If any of them are reading this I will be surprised because it would involve reading and it is also unlikely there is internet access in prison.

So we are going to check out the town tonight, have hot showers at the Satuit Boat Club because that is a perk we get with the mooring rental. This harbor is PACKED with boats. And it is crawling with kids sailing 420s for sailing camp. Very busy, very fun.
