2024: The Ride Home
The Gist: After transiting the Canal, we moved on to Red Brook again. From there, on to Quissett to connect with some sailing friends (and make new ones).

Provincetown to Plymouth and points south

Rent The House, Go Sailing – 2023 Edition
We’ve rented our home in Newport to the same lovely family each summer for the past several years. This gives us a great excuse to: This wasn’t a vacation per se as we both continued working for our respective clients (we’re both independent contractors) albeit with reduced hours. We relied mostly on mobile data to…
