Under Way at Last!

John Ray has finally left the dock after being idle for a year and half. Steve and his crew member, Daz Jenson left at 0700 this morning from Hingham, MA heading south to the Cape Cod Canal. They arrived at the canal and got through it just in time for the current to change against them. Since the winds and the weather were favorable, they decided to sail through the night - through Buzzards Bay, past Block Island and then past Montawk Point to the south of Long Island Sound. Their current destination is Cape May, NJ, which will take them at least two overnights to get there.

Daz and his wife, Judy are hoping to buy an IP 38 so Daz is sailing to Oriental, NC to look an IP for sale there. He will continue to Hilton Head, SC with Steve to see another IP 38 for sale there. After that, he may or may not continue on to Melbourne, FL with him. But for now, the pair are happy to be travel companions heading south. Stay tuned for more exciting news from the John Ray.
