Sept 23/24 Well, we picked our weather window perfectly thanks to Passageweather.com which i am in love with. We had a sunny calm day all the way from Rockland to the Cape Cod canal. We arrived at the canal at about 4:30 am and made our way into it slowly as we hadn’t done it at night and were not used to the lights. The current was not as favorable as we hoped but Windermere powered through. Off of the Portland area, we had a whale show for about two hours off and on. We think we saw about 10 whales and different species too. Two large (7ft)“fish” jumped and fliped out of the water that we couldn’t identify. Other whales were doing their bellyflops and everyone was spouting We watched it all from the flying bridge and I did get one picture. We had a full moon which added to the comfort and only once close call with a cruise ship- thank you AIS. John talked to the captain before things got too close for comfort and all went well. Once through the canal, we anchored in our usual spot near the canal and went to sleep.
