Day Two - Cape Ann to the Southern end of the Cape Cod Canal

We woke up in Annisquam and took a hike to Willow Rest country market for breakfast, hike back after.

Shoved off at 0900 through the Annisquam River, fueled up at Cape Ann Marina, and rushed through tricky currents at the bascule bridge and entered Gloucester Harbor.  We took a short swing through the harbor, and made good time in calm seas across the Massachusetts and Cape Cod Bays, and caught the tide through the canal.

It was a beautiful ride all the way, but then we were met by the broiled seas of Buzzards Bay, so we ducked in to Red Brook Harbor, Palmer's Boat Yard, washed down the boat (and us) and took a mooring for the evening. BBQ ribs and salad aboard.  Harvest moonrise.
