2008 August 30th Harbor Trip to Bumpkin Island
Overnight trip from Community Boating, Boston
Trip Route:
Getting the sailboats ready to tow through the locks (with our fearless safety launch driver Corey):
Crew of Rhodes number 4:
Spinnaker Run from Grape Island to Bumpkin Island (with crew of Rhodes number 4):
Once at Bumpkin, we were pleasantly surprised to find an ongoing Artist Encampement and were surprised at every turn with their art work.
As evening came on, the tents were pitched for the night:
We enjoyed a camp fire on the beach:
The next day we had the opportunity to sample the weather we would sail home in:
Note both kyaks we are trailing behind the sailboat. One broke free and we had to do a real "man overboard maneuver" handled beautifully by Elena, even as a freighter beared down on us.
