August 3rd

Going through the cape cod canal takes some timing. There are high tides in both buzzard bay and cape cod Bay, the current through the canal reverses, so we went in on the west side with still some flood left leading to slack, and we did fine.

We are at sandwich marina for a slip with power, water, nice shower and an easy walk to town and grocery wow! We were assigned that tiny slip, and when we saw the tight spot, we asked for a better place. They were helpful and put us on a face dock, yeah!

We walked to the canal visitor center and found the exhibits well done, we even saw our boat Vagabonde on the radar control panel. We wanted to walk to the glass museum and got turned around. We will try it again tomorrow morning before leaving. We tried to reach the boardwalk to town but the walkway had been damaged so we had to retrace our steps. We ended up to the grocery store where we filled up all our bags. Nice weather so nice dinner on the upper deck, and we took a long warm shower..a very nice end of a day.
