Hi Tim- I've done the buzzards bay, canal to winthrop leg... I'd be interested in at least a leg of the adventure. let's talk, gregg.moore@.... I sail a...

Tim, Have you checked the Eldridge yet? I have a 2007 on th boat, I'll look up the tides for those days over the weekend. In the meantime check this out; ...

Tim, please contact me off list. I've made that trip a lot and I might have some suggestions. ... From: MassBaySailors@yahoogroups.com...

Hi Tim: You've gotten some good input, let me add my 2cents as I have made the trip many times and love going through the canal at 10Ks ground speed. In my...

Oh yeah... There are 2 approaches, one from the south the other from the north. The south approach is easier, but there are som shallow spots. So it it is high...

Hi Tim I would recommend that you try to find a crew of 3 or 4 and try to do it nonstop. It will be cold and going in and out of marinas etc (most of which ...

Tim, Why am I not surprised that you bought yourself a boat! You could talk me in to going along for at least part of the trip. Jeff...
