As we were preparing to drop our mooring this beautiful schooner departed. The sail back to Boston was great - 10-15kts apparent wind and we were sailing on a close reach most of the way. Temps in Boston were in the 80s. When we got to the Boston harbor winds dropped and we had a strong outgoing tide. Since the wind was from the north west tacking was challenging - the current slowed forward progress. When a cruise liner came nearby it was time to turn on the diesel engine and motor in for the final 2 nm.
This was leg 73 of the year and Prairie Gold's odometer passed 5000nm.
