Doesn't sailing just make life better?

How much deeper would the ocean be without sponges in it?

Nice photos. We sailed less this season

but with our two kids now 16 and 17, it was expected. We still got the four of us on board for a week downeast though, and had the wonderful time we always have together.

Wavelength studio shot us coming out of Stonington headed homeward with this shot. Image

Tashmoo

I made it down to Lake Tashmoo on Martha's Vineyard this summer. What a nice spot that is - room to anchor too!


Image
On the way down, I spotted a buddy of mine with an identical boat - couldn't pass up the shot.

Cheers,
John
Sailing involves the courage to treasure adventure, and the wisdom to fear danger. Knowing where one ends, and the other begins, makes all the difference.

Nice John, we spent a few nights in Lake Tashmoo

Post by Tom Young »

the season before last. It's one of the few good anchorages left on MV now with Edgartown closed inside.

Tashmoo is one of those anchorages where you know you can really relax, the boats not going anywhere.

I agree Tom

I agree Tom - Tashmoo is certainly a wonderful place to hang out and unwind. A really cool part of this trip was seeing pilot whales inside the Cape Cod Canal. They weren't traveling through, but staying put near the Sagamore bridge. I think they were snapping up bluefish that came through with the current.
