Quite the Sleighride!

Tom McDonagh

Keying in on Predictwind, we figured we would have leisurely run to Gloucester from Boothbay area. To our surprise, the wind continued to build and shift from west to NW with sustained winds of 20 knots plus. While having so much fun and knowing sailing conditions such as this is rare, we opted to skip Biddeford, Portsmouth or Gloucester and drive for the Cape Cod Canal. We were lucky enough to hit the latter half of the ebbing current. On the western end of Buzzards Bay is where the wind failed us. Cuttyhunk or Martha’s Vineyard were both a motor jaunt, so we flipped a coin.
