Finally, the first overnight of the season!
Took advantage of Wisner and Betts invitation to Cohasset as an excuse to try out a new harbor. Wind in our faces heading down on Monday, June 11th, to a very protected harbor mooring just inside the breakwater. After coming through the "Gangway" and starting up the channel, we followed Wisner (aboard his Boston Whaler, "Magnet") the rest of the way in. After getting settled (which, of course, included a swim for Chris) we had a comprehensive harbor tour with Wisner and Betts on the "Magnet" followed by apps and dinner aboard "Wuling" -- a very pleasant evening afloat to celebrate Chris' pre-birthday!
Wisner made an extra special Boston Creme pie muffins and newspaper Birthday delivery Tuesday morning before we headed out for a spectacular sail back to Boston. Good shakedown cruise!
Got a couple of iPhone pix of Chris up the mast to replace the wind vane on June 22nd...
Forgot the camera again for Wuling's afternoon harbor tour on Sunday, June 24th, and even forgot to take shots on the iPhone. Nice weather but the breeze was very finicky and the boat traffic (and waves) sort of spoiled an otherwise beautiful afternoon. New windpoint and cockpit radio unit seem to be in working order. Saw Susan and Chris on "Angel Fish" at the Mystic Marine fuel dock when we got diesel.
