Planning our cruise to Pen Bay was remarkably easy this summer. I selected some workable weekends for the Cape Cod Canal current and this year the full moon landed inside. The weeks fell into our cruising friends' schedule (he likes to sail, she likes to hike) and we ended up with almost three weeks! We'll head out of Buzzard's Bay July 20th and return August 7th. Subject to the usual issues of weather, health and unforseen problems.
