A mix or motoring and sailing kicks off our Maine Adventure

Tom McDonagh

What started out as a quick jump to Onset turned into a full day adventure. I misread the Cape Cod Canal current charts and found when we arrived that it was in peak Flood stage. So, we squirted straight through and made a beeline for Gloucester. There was little wind from East Greenwich to Onset. On the other side, we had 18-20 knots from the “Right” direction for the first time in a long time. The wind drained out of Cape Cod Bay slowly overnight demanding more motorsailing. As we closed Gloucester, we found heavy fog was the weather for the morning. We scraped our way into the inner harbor and picked up a town mooring at 6:30am local time. We hope to sail to Portsmouth NH for a few days before heading north for the summer. Time for a nap!
