Woods Hole walk-jog, tiring, at the end of the day. No going ashore at Cuttyhunk as it rained in the am & we needed to move on. So we ended up at Great Harbor & getting ashore for a Woods Hole visit & exercise became real. This marked the end of our summer cruise. WH is an old friend, going back to the early 80s for the most part. I walked-jogged the gps'd loop which was basically the course of the first Seagull Classic in May, 1978, the only RR I ever won. I was 32, in good shape having run Boston the month before as well as a 55' 10 mile that spring. In the last mile, from Nobska Light, there was one young woman, right behind, whom I knew, Lynn Jennings. She was from Harvard, MA and a neighbor of the Taburs. She was a 17 y/o high school standout. I must have figured I had to beat her & did by a bit, how much I can't recall. She went to Princeton but did not stand out there running. But she won a bronze medal in the '92 Barcelona Olympics in the 10,000m. I was pretty beat by Nobska this time.

After we had dinner at Captain Kid. I needed a sink 'bath' at the Steamship Authority first. We last had dinner at Captain K in September, 1991 after finishing our 7 year voyage. Paths cross again and again. Nice to be back at Quissett for the rest of the summer and early fall.
