We are off! At the moment we are on a mooring in Menemsha Harbor enjoying family time with Alec and Sally, Alex and Brendan, and Philip and Susan.
Our first leg was South Freeport to Gloucester. We left at dawn and pulled in 15 hours later. On the way, we encountered two bats who circled around the sail and one decided to take up residence in the dodger. Nico put on gloves and gently removed it. We think they were there eating the gigantic swarm of biting flies that decided to join us. We spent the rest of the day swatting flies and still haven't gotten rid of them all. We saw one minke whale approaching Cape Ann and a large number of porpoise and gannets diving on baitfish.
