We made it!!!!!! A day earlier than planned but on this, the seventh day, we will stop and rest. Tomorrow we will assemble our kayaks and play for a few days.
We left Kennybunkport at 7:30 when the tide started racing out the river. We definitely did not want to get stuck in the mud again!!! Today was a long day but perfect weather, wind, and point of sail. Along the way we spotted a seal pop it's head up, 2 whales, and some fish or seals jumping in the water. There was no fog, wave action the best in 3 days, so we pushed onward. We lost our GPS around Seguin Island where a magnetic disturbance can affect your compass. Don't know if that was the reason but it took more than 10 minutes to get it back. Paper backup charts helped but so did 6 mile visibility!! We will post pictures from this area over the next few days.

Well we arrived on the Cape late last night. Have had a quiet say settling in and doing a spot of shopping. Ryan and Katy are due back from Washington state late this evening. We'll ring tomorrow after chatting to Ryan as we should know our plans then. bfn

Hi Peter & Jane,
Glad to see you made it to Boothbay Haaba safely. You mentioned getting stuck in the mud. Was that in Wellfleet. We are getting ready for our cruise this coming week with our cruising club and then will head over to Buzzards Bay, the Cape and islands, We may be out through Labor Day depending on weather. Roland and Mona may sail over that way some time in August and we will link up with them if our schedules coincide. Hope the weather is good for the rest of your trip.
Don
