FINAL PORT OF CALL

Departing Final Port of Call

Sunday afternoon we cruised over to Red Brook Harbor in Buzzard's Bay at the beginning of Cape Cod, MA, and close to the Cape Cod Canal which we planned to cross on Monday morning on the last leg of our trip to Boston. We tied up at the very busy Kingman Yacht Center where we met some fellow travelers from Boston.  It turns out that Chris and Susan, long time New England boaters, keep their beautiful Sabre at Constitution Marina next to the marina where we will dock the MollyBelle in Boston this summer.  On their way to Nantucket for the holiday week, they shared some boat stories and gave us some very helpful advice about entering Boston Harbor.  Susan snapped some photos of us departing our final port of call on Monday morning.

BACK TO MY ROOTS, THE JOURNEY CONTINUES

Although I grew up in New Jersey since the age of five, I was born in Worcestor, Massachusetts and spent many summers returning to that area for visits with my "Memere" Prefontaine and aunts, uncles and cousins.  So I am going to wax sentimental about this journey from Florida to Massachusetts. Cruising on the MollyBelle has afforded so many opportunities to indulge my love of the sea, coastal waters and nature along the way.  Meeting new friends, connecting with old ones and special family visits have added another dimension to this trip.  Traveling together (for 56 days!) on this 42-foot vessel has strengthened the ties with my husband of 46 years.  Writing about our experiences has helped me appreciate so many blessings and opportunities.  Although we are coming to the end of this "MollyBelle Journey," we will continue on the Journey of Life.  Perhaps not always as exciting as this one, we will count our blessings and seek goodness and humor along the way.  And so as we approach our final destination on this boat trip to Boston, the journey continues...
