#catamaransailing #leopard48catamaran #sailingadventures #LobsterTrap #LobsterPot
After transiting the #DelawareBay, we turned the corner in the #AtlanticOcean, and made a quick overnight stop in #CapeMayNJ. We anchored in front of the Coast Guard Station – a small anchorage for only a few boats, however there was heavy pleasure boat traffic in the channel, as it was Fourth of July weekend. Cape May is a go-to beach resort and cottage area for NJ, but seems to be better explored from land, or from the bay side of the bridge. We left at daybreak the next morning to catch the best wind for our next 36 hour sail.
#SAILINGTOMARTHASVINEYARD
We had a good sail for these 36-hours albeit a bit rough. We had following seas, but they were in the 8-10’ range and a short dominant period. We sailed fast with the parasailor but by evening the wind was too strong for that sail through the night.
So, we doused the parasailor and put up the main and genoa. Not as smooth sailing, and not as fast, but safe. Note when we had the parasailor, we saw up to 23 knots TWS and were making 10-11 knots SOG. Very fast.
We #snaggedalobstertrap in our rudder during this trip, but were able to remove it AND save the lobster pot gear for the fisherman.
By morning we lost wind velocity, speed, and direction. We were originally heading to Nantucket to make the trip east to west, Nantucket to Newport. But with the change in wind, we changed our destination to Martha’s Vineyard. This would dramatically change our overall trip plans since we’re now going west to east, Martha’s Vineyard to Nantucket. But that’s what sailing is all about. Arrived Martha’s Vineyard – 6 pm – perfect timing.
