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. BB |
