After a long two-week hiatus the crew of Second Wind returns to the Cape to continue its northward journey to Boston and beyond.

The hiatus was extended due to the captain participating in a jury in a criminal case in the county court system.  Proud to serve, despite the inconvenience and delay to our travel plans.  Many thanks to Roland and the crew at Brewer’s Onset Marina who did a great job keeping an eye on the boat and helping us get off this afternoon in time to catch the eastbound canal current flows.  The DocWah app has worked great for searching, securing and extending our dock and mooring reservations when needed.

And so today, after a visit to the Wydah Pirate Ship Museum we say goodbye to the Vineyard Sound and Buzzards Bay and the Kennedy clan in Hyannis.   We were inspired to create a new cocktail based on our visit.   The Rosemary Kennedy.

• Take one fresh sprig of Rosemary and rub rim
• Add 1-1/2 oz vodka over ice
• Add 3 oz. club soda
• Top with cranberry juice and rosemary sprig

Enjoy Responsibly!

UPDATE: The bottom photo has been added to show the ingredients staged at a recent retirement party for friends held in Braintree, Mass.  No Kennedy’s attended, but there were several other drink suggestions for Kennedy-inspired cocktails.   Send an email if you would like to see the working list, but please don’t if you’re easily offended or if you believe America’s most-famous extended first family should be treated as royals.
