New Bedford to Onset

We had a short and uneventful run of 25 miles today from New Bedford to Onset which put us into a great position to enter the Cape Cod Canal tomorrow. We were able to grab a mooring ball belonging to the Massachusetts Maritime Academy and enjoy a peaceful evening before getting up early to catch the favorable tide through the canal.

The Cape Cod Canal connects Buzzards Bay to Cape Cod Bay. The canal is approximately 7 miles long and allows vessel to shorten the journey between the Cape Cod and Long Island Sound by eliminating the need to travel over 70 miles around Cape Cod to enter Long Island Sound.
