We arrived in Portsmouth, NH area on Monday night and anchored in Pepperrell Cove in Kittery,Me across the river. Tuesday was raining and we dragged the anchor in the afternoon. We reset the anchor and did not leave the boat without one of us aboard all day Tuesday and Wednesday am. Wednesday am I fell into the water and drowned my Blackberry Storm. Because we had friends coming for dinner and Barbara's Birthday on Wednesday we Rented a mooring from the Portsmouth Yacht Club. We also needed somewhere to have my replacement cell phone delivered. On Thursday the weather was lousy so we extended our rental to Friday. Friday night we broke a pump on the boat and had to have the necessary parts sent overnight to arrive Saturday so we extended our rental to Sunday. The weather was forecasted to be bad today so we extended it to Monday. Tomorrow we plan on leaving though the weather does not look great for Tuesday either. The people and the Portsmouth yacht club Staff and members have been generous in their help and hospitality. We have also met nice people in Kittery and overall enjoyed our visit here. We plan to be in the Casco bay area tomorrow night and will update the blog as soon as connections are possible. For our cruising friends we want you to know that this is a pretty cove, but you rock and roll and swing with strong currents, commercial traffic and eddys so a one night stay is probably best.

Hey World Travelers: Pepperell cove - A family name, right? I'm sure Harry and I were sitting on a bluff where we could have seen you come into the cove. Too bad we were there a week or so before you arrived.
ReplyDeleteWe hope you'll have fair weather and no delays from now on. Happy sailing.
Love, Diane and Harry
Hi Barb & Dave - Great job with the blog. We're glad to hear you're having a good time despite the weather. It hasn't been that good down here in RI either. Hope you have fair winds and sunny skys for the rest of your cruise. We'll see you soon.
