Slept ok on boat last night despite humidity in cabin. Sesuit Harbor marina is cheap, nice, and quiet. Dennis YC & a perfect beach are right nearby. Small craft advisory & chance of Tstorms predicted late today/tonight. Plan to enjoy beach, then cab over to Chatham for the night. Booked a room already and will leave boat here in Dennis for tonight. - Kathryn
