The next adventure begins

12:30 pm: Cocktails in hand. Time to plot tomorrow's Figawi courses and to take a nap. 108nm trip. the last half was great, the first half, too much motoring and crashing waves. Prairie Gold is flying her flags and there is a flag competition today!

11:21am: Hyannis in sight and the kite is flying!


8am: Through woods Hole

04:30am: In Buzzards Bay we caught wind so that we could sail. Close hauled sailing with Bacon and Eggs!

03:05am: Entered the Cape Cod Canal and transited without incident.

12:44am: Plymouth is off to our starboard. Making relatively good progress. Although the wind keeps on our nose as we turn from east to south. But at least its declining from 20 down to 12kts and the size of the rollers is declining.

Scopolamine patches are working well for those wearing them. 
There is one casualty who is not wearing a patch. But he is good natured despite the agony.


We expect to be at the canal by 3:30am

6:02pm Off to Figawi. Set sail from Boston at 6:02pm. Motoring straight into 20kts of wind. Seas are 2-3 ft and we are bouncing around. But we did have a beer at sunset.
