Spun Yarns and Images about our sailing trips around New England aboard Fujin - our Pearson 34. The last of her kind (they literally broke the mold after she was built)

Bob and Linda's bogus journey - Overnight to Buzzards Bay
We left Boston at 23:43 after a Tsunami of Sound gig into some great wind, warm air and a full moon. The idea was to get to the cape cod canal by about 10:30 the next day for slack tide.
I (Bob) took the first shift until about 5AM. With the low wind earlier, we were not quite as far along as I had hoped. I quickly became unconscious and when I awoke, we were within about 12 miles of the canal.
5AM Linda's turn

School in session
As we got near the entrance to the canal, I heard some splashes around the boat. Within a few minutes we saw dozens of Dolphins surfacing around the boat. They seemed to like swimming along the bow of the boat. They were all around us for several miles.

And leaving the canal
On to Hadley Harbor
Last year when we went through Woods Hole for the first time, we anchored in Hadley Harbor to wait for slack current in the hole. We since read what a nice harbor this is for overnight so we thought we would try it.
