The Gist:
After three fun nights in PTown, we headed west for Plymouth for three nights on a slip for some expected wet weather. After enjoying shore power (with A/C) and (free) Laundry, we sailed south towards the next destination at RedBrook (again). Writing this from anchor off of Sagamore beach waiting for the canal current to switch in a few hours.
TL;DR:
The weather was great for most of the time in PTown. Even the one foggy morning was very enjoyable. Winds were never too high and we had lots of dry dinghy rides back and forth to the dock. We also got in quite a few trips out to the point on the dinghy and the yak. The boat wakes in P-Town harbor really tested the stability of the kayak a few times but we managed to stay on top of it. The following week was intended to be a rare “week off” from work for both of us. After that was arranged is when we realized that three of those days would be rainy and grey. We both ended up working one full day during the rainy time on the dock.
Paging Dr. Robert
Linda had some stiches in her back that were due to come out. We had a kit onboard so I thought I’d take a crack at it. Ultimately, she ended up at the urgent care clinic for the professionals to do it.
On Tuesday, our departure day, we had a lovely foggy morning. We were looking forward to plugging in at Plymouth and drying things out.
The crossing to Plymouth was in pretty light air behind the beam. It was a very slow sail and we ended up motoring for a few miles at the end.
Fog was filling in pretty thick as we entered Plymouth Harbor
We enjoyed Plymouth and even went out for Thai one night. Linda managed to book a massage one day and I mostly tinkered around on the boat.
Heading back South
We left the dock early in Plymouth to avoid doing it at very low tide. This was going to set us up for being very early for the canal timing. The plan is just to anchor off of Sagamore Beach and wait until 1400 for the canel.
While we were sitting there, Linda needed to do an ocean swim. I was “safety kayaker”
