Done with the tricky part. Now for the hard part. | Ep. 279

The current tables for the Great Bras d’Or Channel are accurate. Phew! Sailed out past Noir Point in fair winds and about 2 knots of fair tide. A beautiful night for sailing ensues, but the following day brings rain as the winds pipe up from the northeast. I make for Sheet Harbour, as the forecast calls for at least a week of inclement weather. It’s now early October and I’m just beginning the long trek south, which will turn into a race against the oncoming winter.

Is it November Already? | Ep. 283
No time to waste. It's November and I am just departing Maine, southbound for Buzzards Bay, MA. Weather windows remain short, so forget any direct offshore hops to Bermuda or the Bahamas. SUPPORT HOW TO SAIL OCEANS ON PATREON: https://patreon.com/user?u...
The Sea Gods Must be Misers | Ep. 282
Short sailing windows, long waits. The pattern persists. Following a short stay in Bar Harbor, Maine, I find a day's worth of fair winds for a ninety-mile coastal hop down to Southport, Maine. There I ride out the next round of weather, re-provision, an...
There’s a sailing window to Maine, so I shall sail to Maine | Ep. 281
Beggars can't be choosers. Not in late October, not when you are southbound from Nova Scotia and ill-equipped for arctic sailing conditions. I am searching for a weather window to sail direct to Buzzards Bay from Shelburne, but the weather maps remain ...
After the summit is reached, one must climb back down | Ep. 280
I arrive in Sheet Harbour two days after departing the Bras d'Or lakes. There I spend the next nine days waiting for another sailing window. Fortunately there is a dinghy landing and supplies are a short walk away. I depart for Shelburne around 0300 on...
