Weather / Wind / Sail Plan
The weather started off a little rainy, but quickly shifted to a gloriously clear and sunny day. The wind was mild for the better part of the day, causing us to sail somewhat slowly but allowing us to deploy our science equipment with ease. The sail plan for the day was comprised of the mainsail, main staysail, fore staysail, jib, our coarse sail, and the topsail.
Description of location
We continued our journey, starting from Appledore Island where we had been anchored for the night, and headed towards Jeffrey’s Ledge. We are currently beginning our trek around Cape Cod.
