Mancehester by the Sea

A quick post, just to say that 5 hardy pirates (Elizabeth Swann a/k/a/ "Stephanie"; Jay the Brave; Youthful Dave; Thomas the Fleet, and Charlie the Sluggard) decided to storm Manchester Harbor today. We approached stealthily, first heading towards Salem Harbor, then cutting across at Fluen Point towards Beverly Cove, then along the shore until we sat quietly and unnoticed at the mouth of Manchester Harbor. Being the early morning of the day celebrating our independence from a tyrannical king, there were few locals afoot, and we safely made our way into the harbor without encountering any of the enemy (well, to tell the truth, some of those boats and moorings in the harbor can be quite tricky to navigate). Our return was uneventful, except that there were more motors moving than when we came across, and one large one came close enough to swamp my Alden.

About a 13 mile row, a good workout for all of us who are preparing for the Blackburn Challenge.
