Head north
Isle of Shoals is about 18 miles from the tip of Cape Ann. A great place to visit, really feels like you have travelled someplace. It is a mooring-only area, tough to anchor in. The drill is to pick up a vacant mooring (local yacht clubs have placed loads of them) and hope nobody kicks you off. It changes from daytrippers, who leave an hour or so before dark, to overnighters, who often show up late in the day.
Ipswich Bay Yacht Club, behind Plum island, has guest moorings and is a gorgeous place. With six foot draft you want to come and go with half tide or more. There's a 3 knot current with the tide. You follow the channel right in front of Crane Beach. Its all sand if you touch bottom. Best to do it at less than high tide in case you run aground.
