After many self induced delays Wanderer is off to Jacksonville from Buzzards Bay. After a really pitchy, rolling and yawing trip to Long Island Sound we are spending a few days in Mystic to wait out a storm.
Looking ahead to traveling though NY City, I think there are too many variables for a first timer without some hints.
So some information about my parameters:
Wanderer is a Pilgrim 40, not really an open water boat.
Has a displacement hull, so top speed is 7.5 knots.
I have a favorble tide coming out of the Mystic River going down the eastern end of Long Island Sound
Have to do the Race during daylight hours, and need to make the trip to Manasquan Inlet in fair weather.
The hint I have so far is to follow a tug through Hells Gate as it bumps the refrigerators out of the way and smooths the sea a little
