From Newport, Rhode Island we sailed up to Rockport, Massachusetts. Most folks head for Gloucester which is a great place. We chose Rockport which is just a bit further because it is easy to get in and out. This is the land of commercial fishing - lobstermen mostly.
Rockport Wharf
Rockport looks like a very quaint town. A fishermens town. But... our outboard motor is not running so we are stuck on the boat.
Rockport Wharf
They have very high tides here - 6 feet or more. Hence, the ladder to get up from the water.
This is the entrance to Rockport - it is a very small harbor. The mooring balls are for the Yacht Club but the town will let you tie up to their "pony" dock for a fee. We have been doing day sails since Cape May, NJ. We did one overnight run but without an enclosed cockpit it was cold, cold, cold! So... we gave up on that and decided we would get settled in at night where we have heat. Too early in the season for this part of the country.
