Once we made it through the Cape Cod Canal we were contemplating pushing on to Mattapoisett, but after checking the weather again we decided to tuck into a slip at Brewer Onset Bay Marina. We went into town and got some pizza and beer with Brian and settled in for […]
We spend the work week (10/23) in East Boston, with a nearby sunken sailboat eerily watching over us, the American flag atop its mast waving at low tide. While it feels strange sleeping on the other side of the harbor for a change, the splendid view of Boston it provides […]
