Cape Cod Canal

We spent a day at Sandwich Marina so took advantage of their showers then went to the Supermarket to stock up on food. On the way back got a call from Howard & Priscilla who said they were in the area and they joined us for cocktails and supper. Great visit and nice to see people from home. Had a wonderful time!

Left the marina at 12:30 pm and set off to tackle The Canal. I was quite apprehensive, but it turned out well. No big barges or anything! We went with the tide and were going 7.9 knots at one time. People fishing for striped bass all along the shore. Very picturesque.

The engine is still dripping oil, so we made arrangements to go to Brewer Marine in Fiddler's Cove and here we are. What a place!!!!!!! $120 per night plus mechanic fees, etc. Guess we'll be going back to work when we get home....hahahah. Never mind! If we can fix the problem, it's worth it. They have washer & dryers, BEAUTIFUL showers (8 of them), a pool table, library, TV, barbeques...this is how the other half live!!!!!! We feel a little insignificant though...

Heather & Pete are with us here, but will leave for Hadley Harbour, Naushon Island where Heather lived as a little girl tomorrow morning. We'll either find them there if we're fixed early, or will bypass that stop and head for Cuttyhunk and try to see it on the way back.

Might post a few pictures of this place before we're off again... Later!
