We have finally arrived in Massachusetts, after going through Maine and New Hampshire. We can even see the skyscrapers of Boston rising from the distant waters (we're too far to see the actual shore). We spend a night just outside Portsmouth, NH, and since the strong winds were delayed a day, we decided to make it around Cape Ann the next day. This is the furthest we've been offshore yet. We had 6-foot swells, even though the wind was light, so Pegasus was rocking and rolling. She did great, and took us safely to Gloucester, where a very friendly harbormaster showed us an empty mooring for the night. Today, since they are calling for strong winds, we're gonna stay put and do an oil change for the engine, and maybe even bake some fresh bread. Thank God for our heater, because it is finally chilly outside.
On a finallement passé le Maine et le New Hampshire ! On est arrivé au Massachusett, et on peut meme voir les gratte-ciels de Boston a l'horizon ! On est resté une nuit dans un petit port pres de Portsmouth, NH, et ensuite, on a decidé de faire le tour du Cape Ann, qui nous amenait le plus loin des cotes a date. Ca a tres bien été, sauf qu'il y avait de la houle de 6 pieds, meme si les vents etaient légers, alors ce n'etait pas confortable. Mais Pegasus se porte bien, et elle nous a amené a bon port a Gloucester, ou on a passé la nuit. Aujourdhui, on reste tranquille, alors qu'ils annoncent des grands vents. On va en profiter pour changer l'huile du moteur, et peut-etre faire du bon pain maison. Heureusement qu'on a la fournaise a bord, car il fait un peu frais dehors maintenant.

Hi Val and Genny,
I have been reading your entries with interest. Sounds like you are having a great time so far. I admire your sense of adventure, not very many people sell everything, pull up stakes and set off on the high seas. I'm sure there will be a few problems along the way (there always are in life) but I know you will enjoy seeing and exploring all the new places you dock at. Take care of each other, be safe and have fun. I'll be thinking of you when I'm out cleaning the snow off the truck this winter on my way to (what's that word you don't have to worry about for a while - WORK). Hope to see you in the spring. Ruth
