Gloucester to Padanaram

Jonathan Quebbeman

Early morning and a long sailing day. Massachusetts Bay was really dolly with following seas and wind over our quarter. 2-3m seas and really steep with a short period. Some waves breaking over the stern quarter. Saw what I believe was a sunfish. Floating on the top of water and then raised a fin of some sort. Also pretty sure I saw a whale. It was big, dark, had a fin and crested out of water. Sailed through the bay and then transited through the Cape Cod Canal, which was neat. Motored our way through Buzzards Bay and picked up a dock in Padanaram. Refueled, watered, met some of Pete’s friends and had a great dinner at the Sail Loft. Great sail, great day on the water, great company, good times.
