But it doesn't allow much time between with the present forecast. I'm thinking if all goes well, I'm allowing a 4.5 knot average plan minimum from Monhegan, which could allow some sailing. If I can get a 5 knot average, that would give me some breathing room.

There could be some north-easterly winds that could allow some sailing. Even the southerlies are good if not too stiff and I have the time left.

The forecast now says winds from all directions and mostly light, slowish going. If I don't get any sailing in the beginning, I'll make use of the motor. Those 20 knot gusts on the nose are what I would like to avoid at the end(btdt).

The canal time is convenient though, if I can make use of it. I'll let you know, I have your cell number. If I don' t make it saturday, sunday.

I can't wait to get out there.
