Delivery Home from Hyannis May 29-30

Jon, Lori, Mike and Crazy arrive at Hyannis YC on Thursday night in the Team VIVA white minivan. Watch movie in surround sound. Sleep on the boat. Wake up at 3:30am to depart Hyannis. Off mooring at 4am. Follow fishing boat procession out of harbor. Mike on the bow with spotlight. Beautiful sunrise. Calm seas winds 5-10.

Woods Hole at 8am. 1 hour past slack tide.

Current very apparent ebbing into Buzzards Bay.

Mike got VIVA to Cape Cod Canal 2 hours early.

Decided to go into Pocasset in South Channel. Very narrow and shallow channels at low tide. Turned around into North Channel to Red Brook Harbor. Again, very narrow and shallow. Bumped on sandy bottom and turned around. Slowly headed for Canal while waiting for current to start following east.

Once through canal, confused NE seas at exit. NE winds on nose. Continue to motor. Eventually wind moves ENE. Building seas hitting our beam. Long ride/motor from Canal to Scituate. Thoughts to stop at Scituate but heavy wind forecast for next day made the decision for us. Round Minot's Light to port. Put up #3 with motor at 2500 rpms. SW breeze filled in. Rode to Boston Harbor Chanel 6-7 knots with following seas. Arrived at new mooring at Hull YC at 8:15. Motor was run from 3:45 am - 8:15 pm... worked brilliantly!
