Ipswich, MA to Scituate, MA


WOOHOO! On the first fire of the canon we dropped the pennants to our mooring for the last time in 2015, and on the last shot, at 12:37pm, M/V MASCOT departed Plum Island Sound.  
After yesterday's beach party send-off, with our close friends and complete with a magnum of Proseco, we knew it was time to go.
Now what, you ask?  Through the Annisquam River to Cape Ann Marina for fuel, lots of fuel (fuel tank capacity 400 gallons).  
If you are not familiar with Blynman Bridge in Gloucester, let's just say it can be a challenge but today we arrived at slack tide, no boat traffic and cruised through easily.
Once in Gloucester Harbor, we decided to continue on since seas in Mass Bay were 2 ft or less, and arrived in Scituate Harbor at 6:00pm.  The launch service led us to a mooring where we settled in for dinner and some much needed sleep.
