Re: Cuttyhunk 2015
A little rough coming back today. Westport Harbor was a welcome calm and the ramp was empty. Pullout and rdeparture in 1 hour 15 minutes (includes loading car topped tender)
My Mercury BF 50 failed to fire after three cranks, so instead of running down the battery and gave it a shot of ether which immediately spun up. I removed the under cowl filter, cleaned a small amount of crud from bottom, pumped 50 ml clean fuel to rinse the bowl, then reassembled.
Vroom. Cruised home at 3000-3500 rpm got 2 hours

Re: Cuttyhunk 2015
Good breakfast, a Happy crew. Egg beaters are a lot more convenient on board.
Well fed, staying out of the burning sun from 1200-1500
Our favourite spot...right behind Churches Beach

Re: Cuttyhunk 2015
Snagged an old oyster pen with the mud anchor
Pulled it up, marked it with a milk jug, and called it in to the harbor master. Always keep the HM happy.
On the way home..

Westport MA shots
Back Eddy restaurant here has good food but pricey.
This is where we anchor. Entrance to harbor is at Southeast end, the best beach in the world is in the foreground, a 15 second swim from our anchorage.

Re: Cuttyhunk 2015
With someone at the helm, motoring up the Royal River, I have the boat de-rigged and ready for transport before reaching the launch ramp. Doing same would be easy on the Westport River too.
