29th Dutch Harbor to Cuttyhunk 30th to Red Brook Harbor/Kingman Yacht Center

Late departure out of Dutch Harbor because of fog, fog, fog. Started out sailing on two hour tack which turned into 4 hours direct motoring to get to Cuttyhunk Island before sun down. To late for ice cream! Some of the crew decided to abandon ship and go hiking. See pictures.
Woke up to thunder and lightening which after much discussion turned into a immediate departure to beat the storms to Red Brook Harbor, Cape Code. Going to Red Brook to wait out the tide for transit of the Cape Code Canal. Decided to do laundry and found out the dryers were broken. So tomorrow we go to town to dry close before an 11 am departure.

Great sail for about 1 hour - becalmed for one hour motored for two.

Had a great meal at the Kingman Yacht Center restaurant. (no pictures...)

Hoping clear sailing is ahead. Thanks for the commentary and pictures. Do kitties really live on boats?
