Newburyport

Nice visit in Freeport with Bill and Amy Holland. A second recovering patient in two days! After You feels like the ship Hope! Obligatory visit to LL Bean. Very quiet. Note to Neil: Shawn Gorman is still there in marketing.


Nice dinner at Jameson Tavern.


Beautiful passage to Newburyport with gentle ocean swells and NO FOG! You know if there was no fog and no lobster buoys, boating would be great in Maine!


Saw several seals, two whales (got a poor pic, I think Brenda did better), and a swan at Boon Ledge!


Entered the Merrimack River at full 4 knot ebb with all the Sunday yahoos racing here and there. Docking was special but we were able to make it first try. Nice walk around town and along the river.

Note to Peter: Visited the home of the USCG in Newburyport.

Off to Plymouth in the morning and hopefully home on Tuesday. It has been a wonderful experience. It also has been a full emersion geography lesson as all of our cruises were!
