Tashmoo looks pretty good on the chart, but when Earl came knocking, it didn't feel very good.
In Response To: New Bedford? ()
Winds were forecast for something like 100 mph from the North I think. Unlike Maine, the coast line on the Cape is mostly just barrier beach. With that forecast, and 2 or 3 feet of sand to the North, I saw the only protection from wind and wave to be the mainland, Cape Cod!
Anyway, the forecast changed dramatically in the last 30 hours or so. We had a mooring and only saw 50 knots from a more easterly direction (if I recall correctly), which put us in the lee of MV.
Riding out even a hint of a hurricane on your boat, is for the birds. I sail for fun.

- No Anchor zone established in Lake Tashmoo
- I hope it's not too limiting. That's the best anchorage on MV.
- And your favorite hurricane hole.
- If I ever get stuck down there with a Cane forecast, I think I'd head for Onset.
- Always welcome!
