We lived on Caper in Gloucester, MA for 12 years and cruised extensively in New England. Several years ago we took her on a trip from Massachusetts through Canada and down the inland Waterways to the Gulf of Mexico and beyond.  It was truly the trip of a lifetime and the links below will take you on the trip with us by following our log.
