[From Anita] Morning comes early when you’ve been partying it up in P Town the night before.
We got underway at 0630 after coffee and a bite of breakfast. Cape Cod Bay was like glass. No one much out on the water except us and the Coast Guard. A perfect day for whale watching and watch we did! The first sighting was shouted out by Roger at the helm and we all rushed up and over to see it. It turned out to be a large pod of very dark, almost black whales. We estimated there to be at least eight and that they were a good 12 ft. each. Over the next hour we saw many whales, some much larger of the same kind. They were feeding on large schools of minnows which were so plentiful they made a wave on the surface of the sea as they moved to get out of the way of their pursuers.
The sea is still very calm, winds picked up a small amount to about 15 and we played with several sail configs but are now motoring towards Cape Ann. Tess surpassed herself once more with a wonderful lunch. It’s going to be hard to go back to the real world after her great meals and our fabulous restaurant outings on Martha’s, Sippican Harbor, Nantucket, and Provincetown. Till next time, this is Anita, signing off. See you all soon.
