We picked up a mooring ball last night in Montague Harbor. For you non-sailors I will explain....a mooring ball is an anchored float with a ring attached. You are supposed to grab the ring with a boat hook and thread a line (rope) through the ring and back to your boat. If you are on a trusted mooring ball it can be more secure (and easier) than anchoring (and not just because you don't have to clean the muck off of your anchor).
It was a perfect gorgeous night with a beautiful sunset. Ideal. The bonus was the entertainment we enjoyed whilst watching everyone else try to moor or anchor their boats.
Today was ideal as well; the sun chased the clouds away. The winds were light but they shifted to allow us to put up Thumper and sail all the way back down to Poet's Cove.
