Close call

Onset, MA

I had originally planned to stop at Cutty Hunk after departing Block Island Thursday morning, but the sailing was perfect and a poor forecast for Friday resulted in a a long day - all the way to Onset.

Onset seems to be a perfect cruiser's stopping point - a protected anchorage and great shore facilities. After doing some laundry and sharing a pizza with Trip and Nicole, I received the frightening news that Tanqueray had dragged her anchor. Fortunately, another boat was able to get her on a mooring. She doesn't appear to be damaged so things could have been a lot worse.

We have discovered that moorings in Provincetown have increased significantly in price. This, combined with a forecast of winds from the South for a few days have resulted in a change of plans. I'm still not sure when and where my next destination will be.
