Our second overnight excursion of the season was from Boston out to the tip of cape cod (P-town) where we stayed overnight, and then return to Boston via Scituate. This three day trip was quite relaxing. True winds were never more than 15 knots so there was no need to reef the sails, and we had high speeds of up to 8.5 kts. Now for you land lovers, that is equivalent to about 10 miles per hour. So next time you are in a traffic jam have a different perspective - at that speed in a sailboat it feels like you are flying.
Boston to Provincetown includes some documentation of the Boston Harbor Islands, as well as our approach to P-town.
In the Scituate leg, the approach to Scituate is particularly nice.
In the final leg back to Boston, we race another 36foot sailboat (and win) into the harbor. They were way ahead of us and we really caught up on them. Not certain if they knew that they were in a race - but if they didn't they should be ashamed for not paying better attention.
Don't you mean Land Lubbers???? Arrrrrrrr ye salty sea dog!
