    So, for future reference, you're ON Cape Cod, not IN it. It's the first sign we know you're not from here. 😊 Glad you had a great time here in our little slice of heaven, especially in the off-season...

    Cape cod is so beautiful but a bit expensive. I lived on a 35' 5" Catalina sailboat for three years in Newport Rhode Island. The ocean views are spectacular. ❤ I'm enjoying your videos.

      Thanks! We're glad you are enjoying them. Is sounds like Cape Cod can be expensive so it seems like we were there at the perfect time when we could do it affordably. Your time on the sailboat sounds awesome!
