Hi everyone,
Yesterday we moved on from Newport to Hadley Harbor near Woods Hole, MA. Winds were supposed to be 10kt from thte SW but were light. We only managed 90 minutes sailing in three separate periods during the 35nm passage. Frustrating. It was foggy until the last two hours with visibility varying from a 2nm down to 200m.

We decided to take a look at Quissett Harbor, from where we would be able to walk to Woods Hole. We didn't like what we saw with the bay full of moorings. We changed destination to Hadley Harbor. Soooo much nicer. A separate area for anchoring and all-round protection.

Before sunset a US 50+ foot yacht came in and anchored close W of us. He didn't seem to put out much chain. Overnight the winds were calm. In the morning he'd dragged right past us to our E. He apologised after realising his mistake. Tonight it's predicted to blow 15G30 so we're glad he moved on.
Inner Hadley Harbor is lovely. Lots of bird life. Big trees down to the waterline. A few big buildings, mostly amongst the trees. All-round protection. Top Spot.
Trust all's well where you are!
Nice
