I'm starting to think about the "by water" delivery option. Working backward from the ~11:30 arrival at the Cape Cod Canal-according to my mileage measurements, Cuttyhunk is not much further from from the canal than Vineyard Haven (about 27 miles instead of 24-and no worries about the currents through Woods Hole)-and if memory serves, is a very nice harbor (nicer than VH, but without the Black Dog). AND-Cuttyhunk is much closer to Newport. Of course, a stop in Marion might be fine instead. That would allow a Newport departure on Monday-which might make a long weekend delivery up from Jersey to Newport a reasonable prospect. The last time we went by water to Barrington, we went outside Long Island overnight to Block, and then did a foggy delivery across BI sound the next day.
I think the leg to the Vineyard adds substantial mileage without much benefit.
Thoughts?
