Time to move on, and Marblehead (where Marion wanted to go) will be a zoo because of race week. We never get the timing right for Marblehead! We decide that Scituate is the best place to go given the weather that may be ahead. Always a good meal and an easy trip to the grocery store there anyway.
Conditions are light, so the trip over is mostly motor. Well charged batteries, though. There is some rain that might pass through later, but things go well on the short hop.
We pick up a mooring (same one as on the way up, it turns out) and Marion goes ashore for a little light shopping. Later it’s showers and into town for dinner. There is a new place (Oro) which looks interesting, but I have a pasta hunger, so we go back to Riva. Their appetizer with pistachio stuffed figs and seared scallops is awesome.
The rain we saw on the radar has pretty much missed us altogether, and everyone comments on the beautiful weather as we take the launch back to the boat. It is supposed to really blow tomorrow, so we’ll have to see what happens.
