Short sail to Provincetown
21 May 2012 | Provincetown
We motored thru the Cape Cod canal this morning, and then had a short sail to Provincetown. We needed to get up at 5am to catch the favorable canal current (+2kts the whole way). Heavy fog the whole way - fortunately not much shipping traffic - just one tug and some fishing boats. Then we had a light air (6kts) closehaul to Provincetown. I can't say that this anchorage is snug (pretty open to the south), but the only strongish winds in the forecast are from the north and we are well protected from there. It looks like it is possible we will get favorable winds on Wednesday, as the tropical storm passes well offshore to the East. Beth and Evans
