Float Plan

Our plan is to leave at 8:45am, and sail to the Spectacle Island. We'll spend about an hour on the island and have lunch, and sail back, aiming to be back on the dock by 5pm. We will call from Spectacle to confirm we are okay.

The forecast is light winds from the northeast, with a chance of rain in the afternoon, but no thunder is forecast. We may motor for part of the way if the wind is too light. There is a possibility of fog. If we get hit with fog, we will sound our fog signal, one long and two short blasts every two minutes, and proceed with caution.

Low tide at 8:54, high tide at 3:12, 10' spread.

Notes

  • Spectacle Island did not respond to radio calls. We motored into the dock and tied up, and no one came to take our money. We talked to a ranger, and he said that they had switched the company that manages the dock, and the new company hadn't started yet since it was early in the season.
  • On the way back, we hit heavy fog, with 50' of visibility. We used Kenn's GPS as a compass and did dead reckoning to go from the #4 to #6 to #8 to #10 buoys in Boston Main Channel.
  • No issues with the boats or the engines.
