billie, that guy has also sailed his 19 foot daysailor to Boston and back,
twice.

I also know a woman who crossed LIS from CT to Plum Gut on a Thistle. She just
got back from a trip to the Maritimes in a small cruiser (well under 30 feet).
The only real issues going CI to BI is the currents through The Race (they need
to be timed for best transport) and some attention to the wind direction when
crossing BI Sound.

This ain't a North Atlantic crossing in January. It is just a nice trip.

How much sailing have you done?

Are we talking about a 15-20 footer that can't make any headway to
windward
if
the seas are more than 2 feet, and averages less than 4 knots in ideal

scruddy dood, I personally know a guy with a 19 foot day sailor who has gone
CI
to BI and back perhaps as many as a dozen times. I am not sure he remembers
how many times. Ain't no big thing, except to a bathtub sailor.

Jax, you are living up to your reputation. I did not even come close to
saying
that you can't cruise the LIS in a small boat. As a teen, I cruised it
extensively in a 14 foot bluejay with a tarp over the boom for shelter.

The poster asked about cruising the length of the LIS in what he called a
"mini-cruiser". I asked a few pertinent questions, because the answers will
change my advice of route and places to consider for stopping along the way.
Since you have never sailed, knowing what sort of boat he actually has, and
how
much time for the trip, won't help you answer intelligently anyway.

The answers to his query cannot be found with google, so you may as well shut
up
now and go back to your kiddy porn.
