Ep.50. Sailing to Martha's Vineyard July 4th. Career couple cruising goals

How do others juggle careers, cruising and a liveaboard life style? Listen to this Boston liveaboard couple talk about careers and cruising as we sit at anchor at Edgertown, Martha's Vineyard. BioTrek is on the move again, after being at the dock at Charlestown marina in Boston since April. After a fast sail from Boston to Buzzard's Bay, we stop at Kingman marina, and we dare to eat at a restaurant, and then anchor near Bassett Island. The Yanmar mechanic at Kingman may have finally helped us solve the last of our engine problems - to be shown on a future video. The next morning, we leave for the passage at Wood's Hole, timing it for slack tide. The passage is well known for fast currents through a narrow rocky channel and tightly spaced channel markers. Once out of the passage, we pause to let our friends on Sv Balu charge ahead, and then, we unroll our genoa and wave good-by as we head to Martha's Vineyard to find an anchorage. We catch up with Ivan (pronounced the Spanish way) and Lauren for lunch. The harbor was really windy, and they calmly explain some trouble they had earlier upon their arrival, and also chat about their cruising goals. It is an interesting conversation for anyone with a sailing dream. The next day SV Balu leaves for Nantucket, and with our drone we watch them sail away. We will see them back at Charlestown Marina in Boston where they live aboard, and where BioTrek has a dock for the summer. *Music by Epidemic Sound* A Bitter Love by Sven Karlsson (Intro music) A place for Us by Howard Harper-Barnes Gold Among the Sand by Trevor Kowalski The Sun is Shinging by Tomas Skyldeberg Weather any storm by Cody Francis Lost in Atlantis - by Smartface (end music)
