If At First You Don't Succeed- Drop Back and Punt

Needless to say, we were all a bit disappointed by our first trip. As BJYY was pulling the boat, Juan the yard foreman asked if we wanted to take anything off the boat before they put her on the hard. In the 100 degree heat, we looked at each other and decided we needed a vacation from our vacation. So we offloaded the food and bags for a road trip to Naushon. A quick stop to drop the food at our house, which had not rented yet, and we were on the road to Cape Cod. We arrived in Woods Hole in time for the 0730 ferry to Naushon on Thursday, July 18th. The extended family had walked down to meet us at the pier when we got to the island, and we were instantly in a better frame of mind. Music was in competent hands with Tom Kicklighter at DMS and would be ready when we got back. So we enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere, good food and time with family. Highlights were the Memorial Service for my Uncle Cab (Hugh Cabot Ware), especially the comments by my Mom about how the Wares had made her feel welcome in their family. Another highlight was jumping from 1st Bridge into the 7-8 knot current that runs through with the tide. Jonathan and Will Ware-Harris were the youngest and bravest participants, leaping wide-eyed into the torrent and racing out to sea. They quickly learned to Calm Down and Swim Hard. Someone should put that on a T-shirt or bumper sticker. As usual, Naushon never fails to refresh the soul.
