May 30th, 09 - East Greenwich, RI to Onset, MA
58 nautical miles, 8 hours 25 minutes
We left early (0600) to catch the tide out of the East Passage and timed it just about right. he weather was fine, the winds were light (about 5 knots) and we made good time. We caught the current up Buzzards Bay and went on to Onset, MA. We had planned on stopping in Red Brook Harbour but the winds, currents and weather let us go further.
Onset is a pretty little place right at the start of the Cape Code Canal (west end). Rik visited a sailor on a 32 foot Bayfield from Saint Andrews,NB. He too was on his way up to Canada.
The sink in the head is not draining as well as we would like and Rik replaced the hose. Still not doing it properly, so, the next time we go in the water for a swim - we will check from below the waterline.
Quiet evening, good holding and a nice sleep.
Rik
