Another early start – we set off at 5:30 motoring in light
winds heading for Scituate. The winds
stayed light until we were just past Boston, when they came in from the
SE. We hoisted sails and had a glorious
sail at 7+ knots towards our destination.
At this rate we would arrive at 2pm, way ahead of schedule. It wasn’t to last however, the winds backed
and headed us and increased to something pretty high (still no wind
instruments). We reefed and motor-tacked
into huge seas, finally entering Scituate, 42 11.99N 070 43.40W at 3:45pm. Not a pleasant finish to the day, but we had
at least had another day of good progress.
