I don't think either of us slept too well last night. The on-and-off rain made it necessary to keep things more buttoned up than I would have liked and made for a clammy night of tossing and turning. I have used this anchorage before so didn't have any real concerns about the anchor dragging, but still got up a couple of times to look around. I can't completely trust the GPS anchor alarm and I suppose that to do so would invite disaster. I'm not sure what this morning holds. Mike talked about going ashore to go for a run, but given the weather and the fact that we are both dragging ass a little; I suspect it will not happen.We left P'town just before lunch and had a very smooth ride across Cape Cod Bay to the canal. We timed our arrival at the canal to coincide with the start of the ebb, so had a strong current pushing us along. We dealt with some heavy rains, mostly once we were into Buzzards Bay, but never totally lost sight of where we were going. We made an abortive effort to find a spot to anchor in Sippican's designated anchorage, but found it already jammed to capacity. I had spoken to the harbormaster this morning and was told there would be plenty of room. I believe his exact words were, "You can put 30 boats in there." It looked to Mike and me that there were at least 45 already there when we arrived, so we moved a little south, away from everyone else and dropped the hook just before the arrival of a pretty good electrical storm.
Nice shot of Mike. At least he's vertical in this one. :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad you got to port before the storm hit.
