Before leaving Boston, there are a few photos we wanted to share.
How times have changed! The Charlestown Five Cents Savings Bank was started in 1854.
We ran into this on one of our walking jaunts.
Study this sign carefully and see if you can see why we thought it was so darn funny
Clue: have you ever rented an aparatment?????
We had a wonderful time in Boston and surrounding areas. Now it was time to leave. We pulled out of the marina early because we had a long ride down the Atlantic and then through the Cape Cod Canal to Onset.
A few pictures leaving Boston. Note the blue sky.
We had a pleasant ride out of Boston Harbor, successfully avoiding barges, sail boats and fishing boats. We had decided to go a few more miles out in the Atlantic, to cut down on the lobster pots around the buoys. We had no more arrived at our waypoint to go down the Atlantic than the fog came in thick and fast. Uh oh. We had arrived at an "egad" moment.....go back to Boston or follow our route in the fog. We reviewed our navigational preparations and decided we could safely proceed with our route.
We had a long, tiring day with constant viligence for lobster pots and other boats, but we were proud to make our goal. It was a relief when the fog lifted before we arrived at the Cape Cod Canal. The town of Onset looked mighty good when we pulled into our slip.
