US - Sail Away and Canal Patrol

Westbound in Cape Cod Canal on October 15, 2015.
You shall not tack across the width of the Cape Cod Canal and you shall not fail to use auxiliary power and you shall monitor the appropriate radio channel. Otherwise you shall receive a visit from the Canal Patrol. Sometimes I see boats under sail going with the wind. Maybe they are running auxiliary power, maybe not. But I've never before seen anyone tacking into the wind. The operations center monitors the canal with closed circuit TV and radar, it's not like this guy can sneak through unnoticed. |

The Corps of Engineers has a couple of these boats and they make a couple runs through the canal every day from what I have seen. The rest of the time they are tied up unless something like this can't be handled by radio. Since we are on the subject... I liked the looks of the previous generation of patrol craft more than these so I will post Marion in a few minutes. Bob |
