A working boat in the Clark Island moorage and Saquish and the Gurnet Point Lighthouse in the background. These small settlements are all technically part of Plymouth. This is an oyster boat specializing in Duxbury oysters. The mooring we're using is compliments of Frank Ronne - nice guy we met in Green Harbor. Jenee commented on how nice everyone in Green Harbor has been. I realized it's true as most of the folks grew up here and stayed here - very tight community.
Now for another installment of Jungle Jim history. This is Clarks Island, nestled into Saquish and just off the coast of Plymouth. It was here on Clarks Is. where the Pilgrims first set foot on land. The island is named after the first mate on the Mayflower. Two days later they landed on Plymouth and the famous Plymouth Rock (great idea for tourists). Clark Island today is a private island only accessible by boat. Another interesting Clark Island tidbit, Truman Capote wrote Breakfast at Tiffany's while staying at an island cottage. Look at how much you now know!
Jungle moored just off the area where I once camped.
Here is a view of Saquish. The only way to get here is by 4 wheel drive and only residents and guests are allowed through. This side of Saquish is Duxbury Bay, the other side is Cape Cod Bay.
This is a strip of beach that runs south from Duxbury to a small village called Saquish. As a kid I would take a boat out here and camp out in the dunes, just to the right of this area called High Pines - a grove of pine trees in the middle of the dunes. It was the best night sky I have ever seen - we'll see how it is tonight. The viewing may be challenged by an almost full moon.
This was the closest we came to any signs of a storm.
Here is Jenee stressing through the threat of violent weather. Holding up well considering the elements.
We left Green Harbor today, June 24 as a storm threatened to blow in at over 70 mph. Turns out it was a false alarm (maxed at 36 mph). We wanted to be good guests of the GHYC, so we shoved off for Clark's Island - another history lesson on that later. Here is a view of Green Harbor looking from the Yacht Club towards the Town Pier in Brant Rock. I've seen this view literally thousands of times growing up and never get tired of it.
