Human Factors
During climbout; I was about 2700 feet; 6-8 miles South-Southwest of Boston; I believe over the Quincy/Braintree area; I came within a couple hundred feet of drone. It was about 2 feet by 2 feet in size; black; four blade; and was rocking back and forth in the turbulence. I reported it to Boston Departure. The next controller followed up with more questions about it.
