Our second day at sea started 830 this AM Was not as cold so the ropes were easier to handle. We had to call bridge keeper to lift bridge, very cool. Very low bridge๐ŸŒ‰
The water was calm at first but became 5-7 foot swells for a few hours. Stella was freaking out, wanting to be held..  Serenity handled the swells with class; up and down, up and down. And yes, I chewed on dramamine; I know that's what you were thinking.
Just a little queasy .  It passed ๐Ÿ˜€
Shorter bike ride, not feeling it today. Oh, and did I mention it has been raining alll day.  ⛈
WE began in Glouster harbor, went across Cape Cod Bay into the Cape Cod Canal.  Saw some weird ducks running/sliding on water then dropping into it.. very comical . They looked like they were competing! 

You will see that I sometimes  write in different tenses  and THAT'S because I write when I can, during present or past, DUH!๐Ÿ’

It"s 3:30 and we see the Sagamore Bridge, middle of the CCC. Kenny says if the bridge 'sags' any more it will be IN the canal. oy ๐Ÿ˜‚
I hope some peeps will leave comments for me to read ๐Ÿ˜ŽQuestions are welcome 

Looks like we will miss our 3:30ish at a dock before it gets dark promise.

Interesting articles to read about the history of  Cape Cod Canal. It has solid stone walls along both sides.  It connects Cape Cod Bay Buzzards Bay and is part of  the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. We are headed to the Buzzard Bay side to land for the night. Speaking of night, it is dark now at๐Ÿ˜ก 4:30.   ๐ŸŒ’ Yikes!  

 The 2 things I dislike about boating: pumping out  and being out at sea in the dark!!!!!!  
it is  pretty though, surreal almost, with the lights lit up across the way, but dark in the cabin, very dark ๐ŸŒ‘ 
Kenny just went topside to drive.  To SEE!  Its all by the charts, maps, GPS and other gizmos.  

WE are HERE!  Only ones too.  Pretty deserted but we are safely docked.  Just took Stella for a walk on the docks. 

 It's almost 6 and hunkered in for the night.  Dinner and a movie on the boat.  Another day under our belt!
