Stopped for lunch here.
The weather could not have been better. We fought some headwinds but the current helped us along. In the end we didn't do a round trip - instead we pushed on a little further than planned (past Rt 53 in Hanover). Once the tide started to ebb, everyone backtracked to the Washington St Bridge where our trip ended.
We saw some osprey, ducks and a deer (ask the boys about the deer).
We passed many of the sites of old shipyards (Fox Hill, Wanton, Hobarts) - when clippers and schooners ruled the oceans, the North River was an important part of that industry. Check out these sites for more history: http://barquehill.org/history.htm and http://www.norwellma.com/history.htm
The boys all did very well and it was an enjoyable trip.
