Dennis to Provincetown


Sesuit Harbor to PTown Harbor
Not much to report here.
Advised to leave "not at low tide" by the harbormaster, we took off at about 0700. It was raining. It was absolutely dead calm. So we motored due north from Dennis to Provincetown.

But first, capt Linda took some artsy photos

The thick clouds, misty air, and calm water were quite pretty



It was very poor visibility out in the bay so we had the radar on. No one snuck up on us. Normally, one can see Pilgrim Monument from many miles away in the bay, but today it was completely invisible until about 3 miles out.


Eastern edge of the front.  We were hoping for skies to clear in PTown but they never did.  Fog and clouds were settling in for a few days.

Mooring, Fuel, Ice, new mooring
Before we grabbed our mooring, we decided to top off the fuel. 8.5 gal: not bad. The launch driver directed us to a mooring very close in. Normally this is a good thing, but given the smell from all the lobster traps stored on the pier and all the junk floating in the water, we asked for one further out.

PTown Night Life
We really enjoy PTown!  This trip we spent more time in art gallaries and Linda was so tempted to purchase an interesting piece or two.  However, we are in downsizing mode so she resisted the temptation.  There were also, of course, a wide selection of shows and entertainment offered.
Would not be PTown without extravagant performances (and just general extravagance)
