Quissett and the Cape Cod Canal

After leaving Newport we sailed up Buzzards Bay to Hadley Harbor. We spent the night at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute dock, meet some great people and saw the sailor’s camaraderie in action.

We decided to skip Martha Vineyard and Nantucket for now, as it was Labor Day weekend and would likely be too crowded. Instead we spent the night in a great small harbor (Quissett Harbor) before heading North through the Cape Cod canal, where Mary navigated her first canal and passed through her first bridges.
