Last night we had the boat ride from hell. It all started innocently enough. We went ashore to an afternoon play on Cape Ann. Then dinner with very nice but slow service and when we made it back to the dock to ride the whaler back to the island the fog was thick, THICK. Visibility was less than 100 yards. Luckily we had our handheld GPS with the waypoints of the buoys back to the island and the seas were calm. We announced on the radio that our little boston whaler was headed outbound in the Salem Sound. What are we? Nuts? But we made it back safe and sound.
We have had some water trouble. Our well water didn’t pass the test so we had to get to the well and treat it. We only had to lift three of these blocks to find it.
Ok, so my heart was only racing a small bit when you began “boat ride from hell”, knowing that you were writing it. But take care!
I really am enjoying your posts and pictures!

Believe me, it was an adrenaline rush for us as well. Thank you. We miss the Adirondacks but are loving our island living.
