If you have been reading our blog, www.denandken.wordpress.com you know we are now sitting in Norfolk waiting to do our next leg of the journey to Cape Cod. In the interest of time we have discussed my heading down in a week or two and going outside from Norfolk to just south of New York Harbor where Denise will again join me for the final stretch to the Cape. The vessel, Periwinkle, is a 36 ft trawler with average cruise of 6.5 knots. This is a full displacement round hull vessel and tends to roll significantly in a beam sea. (I am adding a steady sail and told it will make a difference). Regardless any suggestions regarding this section would be appreciated. Best wind direction, recommended sea conditions, should I even consider going outside in this area, how far out,( I read about shoaling and suggestions to stay well out and yet the charts show plenty of depth for my 3.5 draft when about 1 mile out). And again at my speed this as a 2 day trip. Looking at where to anchor , moor, or dock for a night as well as possible emergency refuge. Any thought would be helpful.
