[status] On mooring, Boston Harbor, Boston, Mass, USA. We took advantage of the strong NEly generated by Hurricane Humberto off toward our east in order to sail 63nm to Boston from Pepperrell Cove this morning. Tonight is the first frost advisory for southern Maine, so it is time to get "where the weather suits our clothes" so to speak. Had a fast, feisty and COLD time sailing under a single reefed main and jib, enjoying the fact that the density of lobster pots have diminished. Highlights of our last days in the Portsmouth NH area were Sophia getting to go out with a local fisherman to bait and pull lobster pots (thank you David!). We also visited with many local land friends and yachties to round out school days and enjoying what seems like the last warm days of summer in Maine. The trees have started to turn to gorgeous fall spectrum, and our heater aboard is getting frequent use. We are excited to have a mooring right downtown in front of Fanneuil Hall and easy walking access to all the historical sites we will adventure to during our stay.
