This is a cool house!



Wikid high bridge





Snagged a mooring in potters cove for the night


Lots of room the place was empty





More fans on the Bee Reel off Duxbury to wave me on
95 miles


That was exhausting!

Great post Mike! Glad you met up with and made friends with the Red's Best Menemsha team, they can be useful in the future.

There a massive unattended fish trap right off the mansions.
Dead rotting fish stuck it the net. Decomposing, stinking, slick a mile long, birds everywhere.
So close that I couldn't go in between the trap and the rocks. I had to go around.
The neighborhood must love that!

You really have to be careful around those things. There is obviously a problem if that was the case. I have never seen them in anything but an actively fished condition.I am guessing there are some fluke under there having a party.

Plastic drums for buoys .
at least the guys up here use beer kegs so they show up on radar. I wouldn't want to find it the hard way in the dark
