Day 18 - Back home to Boston

After a great last breakfast on our adventure (I was the chef, so you might want to check with Yolande)we headed out of Beverly for home. We were determined to sail regardless of the amount of wind. There wasn't much, 5-6 knots but because we were sailing towards it our forward speed increased the apparent wind to about 8 knots. We departed at 10:15am and arrived in the Constitution Marina at 3:45pm.

Here is a view back into Salem harbor area


As we rounded the tip of Marblehead we could see Boston in the distance


As we approached Deer Island and the entrance to Boston harbor


And here is a great helmsman and all around sailor.




It was a fun time. We made more than 600nm. As we were entering the harbor Yolande said "we are not trying for 650nm."

When we got back to the condo it felt so big - not that the boat felt small.
Thanks for enjoying our journey with us.
We will keep posting during the season check back in.
