Our Position is 42:22.121N 70:58.478W
We wanted an early start on Thursday morning as we
had to be back in Winthrop in good time for Kirsty's flight back to the UK. We
left before breakfast at 8:15. It was calm and misty when we left and as the
wind started to freshen from the sea, banks of dense fog rolled in. This did
delay breakfast a little because with quite a few contacts on the radar it
seemed sensible to have one of us on the radar and chartplotter while the other
kept a sharp look out. The lobster pot buoys were hard to avoid. After a while
in deeper water and less boats working the lobster pots we were able to have our
breakfasts sequentially. The wind continued to freshen and, as forecast, the fog
lifted at 10:30. There were occasional fog patches after that but it turned into
a good fast sail on a close reach. We made very good time and were back on the
mooring buoy off Winthrop Yacht Club by 14:30, plenty of time for Kirsty to pack
her bags. we had an earl meal in the yacht club before the taxi
arrived to take Kirsty to the airport and back to London.
