Hy from Hyannis!!!

We've moved again. This time from Martha's Vineyard to Hyannis. We got into Hyannis last night and anchored in Lewis Bay. We were going to anchor just behind a place called Egg Island that was indicated on our chart. Only thing is that when we got into the bay we found the island was gone!!! Yes, Egg Island is basically the Atlantis of Hyannis. The kids thought that was pretty cool. I got the GPS coordinates off the chart and took the kids to find the island. It was about two feet below the surface. But, if you'd like to build a beach home I bet you can get the land pretty cheaply!

Today Jake and I needed to take a trip back to the Vineyard to pick up his next supply of medicine. We moved the boat yesterday because of the good weather. It is raining all day today. So, Jake and I took the ferry from Woods Hole after picking up the rental car and Jo, Drew and Emily are off to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute to learn more about this stuff we're sailing in.

Right now Jake and I are under a porch at the Vineyard Haven Library using the wi-fi since the library is closed and keeping out of the rain while we wait for our meeting with Audrey the visiting nurse who is caring for Jake's dressing and lab work. After we finish with Audrey today we'll take the ferry back to Woods Hole, and then head back to the boat.

If the weather clears this weekend we'll likely head over to Nantucket. We're hoping to check out Nantucket for a few days before heading further north. The plan at the moment is to try to go to Boston and then Province Town after transiting the Cape Cod Canal.

More later and a lot more pictures.
