At one point, even the best time is over and end of October we started to prepare both our and Zefiro’s departure. It had grown quite cold; in the outskirts of our anchorage it had even snown. Fortunately, the heating on board worked and also the thick blankets were helpful. But even in this cold late-autumn period we had some memorable experiences, thanks to our newfound friends.
We took a long walk with Peter, Paul and their four golden retrievers around the beautiful Eastern Point Cape. Zefiro had been moored in front of its Yacht Club for a few months.

Zefiro in the Bay of Gloucester. Thanks to the cold, clear air
we could see the skyline of Boston.

Our friend Martha invited us to watch a fox hunt in which her daughter and granddaughter participated with their horses. Luckily it was a drag hunt, meaning that the hounds follow a laid scent rather than a live fox.

We look back on a fabulous time. We had great sailing, visited the most impressive museums and met very nice people, shared excellent food and partied hard with them ...
Gerhard put it in a nutshell when he said: "Our four months in New England were a highlight in our lives, towards the end we felt very much at home and will certainly come back someday."
