Wood Island and Portsmouth NH

We made it to Wood Island and anchored after motoring a long day. From our anchorage, we can see Old Orchard Beach. Thought about Peg & Brad and the road trip we took a few years ago. That was fun. Brought back memories.


Met up with Moonraker (Sara & Chris) who came aboard for cocktails along with Heather & Pete. Planned on moving the next day.



At 7:30 am we were talking with Pete on the VHF about taking off and where to go when Moonraker called us and told us about the sea conditions...wind on the nose and seas...he wasn't making much headway. Naturally, we decided to spend the day again at Wood Island!



This morning, we awoke to hazy fog and flat calm conditions. We left around 8 am and motored for 6+ hours to Portsmouth. We picked up a mooring at Pepperell Cove and Marc came to pick us up to bring us home with him for showers, laundry, etc. Just got here and Michelle has a giant meal planned. Don't know how she does it - everything's spotless! Danielle is coming over with Kelsey - can't wait to see them both. Hope Melissa drops in too.



Again, we're having a blast. But I think it will be an early night anyway...unless we get our second wind....hahahaha. Oh, by the way, we stopped off at the New Hampshire State Liquor Store. We loaded up and should be good for quite a while...

New Hampshire State Liquor Store? Ran out of wine already. We think about you guys often. BTW, we sold the house. We have to be out by Sept 26. Good luck! Nick & leona
