Recap: August 2013 cruise

We apparently made it back

Well, we had a incredible stretch of weather during most of the three weeks until the last couple days of the trip. We woke in Manchester on Saturday morning to a couple of driving rainstorms.

Our plan was to anchor off of Peddocks Island near Boston for Saturday night and then go home on Sunday morning. However as we approached Boston under the gray rainy sky, we decided that we've had enough of damp bedding for a while so we headed home to Constitution Marina. This time our slip was actually empty when we returned!!!

The Specs
Nights at anchor: 2 (embarrassed about this)
Nights on slips: 6 (two were complimentary from Brewers)
Teeshirts purchased: 3 (a little low)
Diesel used: Approx 12 Gal (around $50?)
Miles traveled: Approx 380 (would know better but Capt Bob forgot to reset the meter when we left)
Places visited: 16
Places we've never been before: 10
Places we'd go again: 12

The Movie
We had about 40 minutes of footage from the trip. Tried to capture some panoramas of some of the beautiful places we were plus some action shots of sailing in some weather.  I managed to get it condensed down to about 10 minutes.


So it's probably mostly day-sails and one or two overnights from now til the end of the season. Hard to believe we're thinking of winter storage already. This year, we'll be bringing Fujin back to Bristol, RI for the winter again.

As always, thanks for reading (and watching)
