Familiar waters, but sailing in and out of the harbors remains a challenge | Ep. 219

I am anchor down in Tarpaulin Cove, on Vineyard Sound, six days out of Beaufort, NC. That was not without a struggle, though. Had to beat into brisk NE winds, and then fight the flooding current to get to Tarpaulin. But after some rest I am treated to a glorious beam reach across Buzzards Bay to visit my friend Chris in Padanaram. Padanaram presents a challenge to the engineless sailor, as it is not only crowded, but there are many expensive, classic yachts moored there as well. The price of a mistake could be ruinous.
