"There is nothing more pleasant than cruising on a boat with the whole family."

September 4 — Day 57 — Falmouth to Hyannisport — 18 NM

Very light wind this morning so we motored all the way.  Our course was eastbound, away from home — our last such of this cruise. Our purpose was to visit Lee, of my book group, his wife Pattty and their son Aaron. Patty grew up summering in what was her parent’s home in Hyannisport. It was great to see friends from home. The Hyannis YC was where President Kennedy was a member. It is a rather posh club (to the left) with large docks, a beach and mooring field in a well sheltered bay.


We used the dink because we planned to get back after launch service ended. We showered, and unless the clubhouse was rebuilt sinse then, I showered in the stall where President Kennedy did.

We had lunch, we’re taken to Whole Foods to provision and then enjoyed the afternoon in conversation with our gracious hosts in their home followed by a great vegan dinner cooked up by Aaron. They had offered the beach, which is in walking distance from the house. We beached the last time we cruised here but today, rest was called for and enjoyed.
