Open Enrollment Sail
Transit Boston to New Bedford
Day One

Here is a chart image for our sail into Monday evening. At 1800 we are making our way to Stellwagen Bank hoping to find whales.

We spent the afternoon tacking into Gloucester Harbor, and executed a sail-by of the Fishermen's Memorial on Western Avenue after which  all hands helped deploy and retrieve an otter trawl in Southeast Harbor. The catch was mostly sand dollars and crabs along with one skate.

We plan to sail all night in the moonlight and gentle north breeze....
