After a great stay in Halifax we saw a weather window suitable to sail to Cape Cod. The route is about 370 NM SW which is usually upwind across the Gulf of Maine. This turned out to be a fantastic passage with East winds greeting us about 3 hours into the trip and allowing us to sail all the way to the Cape Cod Canal which we arrived at after about 56 hours of sailing. Winds started out light with a flat sea and built to 25 knots with 5-10 ft seas for the ride into Cape Cod. What a great sail. We are now moored in New Bedford MA after clearing US Customs and Immigration. Here is a video of life aboard.
We loved seeing the video! Enjoy New York!
