Blogging blogging blogging... it's all I do. How about I just share the whole photo album:
The September Trip Album
We did a total of about 280 nautical miles. Used about 17 GAL of diesel. Not bad for traveling for 2 weeks! We paid for slips just 3 nights. The rest we anchored or got moorings. Most of the money went to food and tee-shirts!
Where we last left off, we were at Jamestown, RI. This was the last destination of the trip that we had not previously been to. From Jamestown, we went to Red Brook Harbor near the Canal. We were a cheap date in Red Brook. We anchored (free) and then walked to town for pizza for dinner.
Here's some photos of Redbrook:

Redbrook to Provincetown
We left at 6AM and went through the canal and on to P-town. Provincetown is another place we've been several times. This time we stayed on a mooring at Provincetown Marine. Bob returned to SNIP for his day of beauty. This was also the first time we used a self-service pump-iout! (TMI?)

Provincetown - Home:
From Provincetown, we decided to just head home on friday. We discovered we had a clogged raw-water intake and attempted unsuccessfully to clean it out. P-town had all the docks pulled for the season and no place to get a water hose to blow it out. We tried the dinghy pump and also went swimming under the boat to try to dislodge the crap in there. No luck. So, the trip home would have to be 100% sailing. Fortunately, we had a nice wind. In fact this was the longest time under sail for any leg of the trip. What a way to end it!
