Default Slow boat to Scituate

Mrs.E. has been spending a lot of time caring for her elderly parents
lately, one of whom had a stroke and is in rough shape. As a result, she
hasn't been able to spend much time on her GB so far this season because the
marina is quite a distance from out house. When I come down I spend two or
three days on the Navigator so the trip is worthwhile, but it's hard for her
to drive all the way to the Cape only to spend two or three hours before
having to drive back.

So ....

We've arranged for a slip back in Scituate Harbor for the GB. Scituate is
much closer to our house and was our homeport for many years before we moved
down to Kingman. Depending on weather, I'll be taking it up sometime this
week or next weekend.

This should be interesting. The Navigator can make this voyage in about 3
hours. I figure 7 hours for the GB. I'll also have to watch tides and make
sure I don't go through the Cape Cod Canal at the wrong time. The current
in the canal can get as high as 7 knots, which means I'd spend an hour or so
going nowhere.

Should be fun on the chug chug.
