Spectacle Island

The Charles is beautiful in the morning. Before it is disturbed my numerous motor boats, sailboats, kayaks, and crew people, it is very calm and serene.

On our journey to Spectacle Island, we motored out of the Charles in a sailboat, and made our way to Boston Harbor.

There were some amazing, unique views.

We went through the locks...

...and made it to the harbor!

We raised our sail, but not for long... It broke, and we had to motor all the way to Spectacle Island.

But we made it there! And I have a picture of the welcome sign to prove it.

Spectacle Island featured views of the ocean,

We motored back to Cambridge, with our sailboat friends in tow.

This is a secret view of the Longfellow Bridge - it is my favorite! You can only see these gondala-gargoyle-ish statues from the water!

And finally, the amazing view of Boston from under the Longfellow  Bridge.
