August 21st,

Back to cotuit where Philip and Claire had left their car. Sad to see them go, it was so nice to have them visit us on the boat. After they left we moved to anchor nearby and later went to a local co-op fresh grocery to pick up a couple of essential and not so essentials.

Stayed two more nights near Cotuit. The wind died down and it is such a nice feeling to go to sleep at night knowing that you are not being rocked.

We walked in Cotuit Tuesday and Wednesday, we walked to the bus stop to catch a bus to Hyannis. We had lunch at a harbor outdoor restaurant. We treated ourselves to seafood combo and an appetizer of one Quahog. The afternoon we visited the JFK museum. The Kennedys have a Summer home in Hyannis and it was interesting to learn more about the family connection to the area. The main street is lively. We added a grocery stop before walking back home. It was nice to have a ride for the last stretch to the kayak by an older gentleman.
