A journey to an unknown destination

We headed out of Boston on our annual sailing vacation. We always try to let the wind decide the heading. Once we were in the inner harbor we realized we would be able to sail nicely along the main channel and out of the north channel. As we passed spectacle island we were on a broad reach and put up the spinnaker. Once in the north channel we had a snack lunch, which was followed by a wind shift. we decided to gybe and head further east. Our course was slightly north of Provincetown. But we decided to keep this course since the spinnaker was our, 11kts of apparent wind and we were barreling along at 8kts on a bean reach. However, we were heading straight to the shipping channel. We changed headsail and turned further south and managed a straight ride down to one of our favorite local ports - Scituate.

Today's destination? Waiting for wind to direct us.
