First time I boated through the canal was in a sailboat but much smaller than yours. Started from a mooring near the west end, sailed through and tied up for the day at a beach further down the cape. Then return through the canal back to the mooring. Have been over both the Sagamore and the Bourne bridges many times and even been through the railroad bridge several times on the train. Other then the last 23 years, spent the rest of my life in Eastern Massachusetts and RI. Great video and it bring back many memories
@@svpaquita That sailboat trip was 45 to 50 years ago. It was smooth sailing both ways until we got past the railroad bridge and then we hit a huge rip and it was a very rough ride for a short while until we got closer to the dock. We were under power during that time.
👍👍 Been there many many times and yes Great food to eat really nice people all year round. I been doing Newport RI from back in the late 70's Great drone shots Tim. and great video as a whole. thanks again, CUOTO
I love watching your New England videos. I grew up in Groton CT and went to Mass Maritime so watching these vids is like sailing through my old stomping grounds. I am living vicariously through you youtube channel lol.
Thank you very much and welcome Paul. You will be happy to know that I still have a bunch on NE content to put together and the boat is still up there. So if all goes well, we will have a ton of New England content for you before we head south in November. CUOTO
I try to get down to the canal a few times a week to make sure the water is going the right way. We live 15 miles east of the canal. They do have a well run marina and the best run launch ramp I have ever used.
Enjoyed the ride through some old stomping grounds, but a couple of things onboard caught my eye. From my vantage point the u-bolt ends on the antenna over your right shoulder (just forward of the palm tree) look like puncture wounds waiting to happen. Also, it looks as if your headsail halyard could stand more tension to get the wrinkles out of the luff and move the draft forward. Or, I could be totally wrong (ask my wife). 1W
Thank you for watching Randy. I installed the iridium last year before sailing to Puerto Rico. Those long threads bothered me as well, but they are far above head and out of the way. But they look terrible. I'll get around to grinding them off one day. 😂. CUOTO
BI sound.. My old stomping grounds.. Where on BI did you tie up? Champlin's?? An aunt of mine owned it years ago and I spent many hours as a kid cruising the island on a bicycle. In later years I worked for the ferry service that ran New London to BI but we docked in New Harbor. Short hop to Ballard's for a few barley sodas!! Southeast light house was moved a few hundred yards several years ago due to erosion on the headland. Bummer about the drone restrictions I'd love to see some recent imagery. Great video, Best luck & CUOTO... JW
Thank you for watching Jon. We anchored in New harbor both times. The SE lighthouse move was at the time, the single largest/heaviest move ever done in the US. CUOTO
5:06 Would you please get some shorter U-Bolts or trim those off flush? I would hate for the captain to have to wear an eye patch. ("When did you get the eye patch?" "Arrrr! The first day with the hook.") 🙄
Thank you for watching Charley. I have two tracking mechanisms on the boat. One for offshore passages (Iridium Go) and one for coastal cruising (AIS). I think if you use the AIS you find SVP in the Gulf of Maine. CUOTO
@@svpaquita No, at this time it is still showing that you are still at the mooring in Rhode Island. I just checked again at 9:45 PM 9/5/22. Must be something wrong with the transponder.
Nice trip, early leaf season? Anyway, I wanted to comment about going downwind as I am also leery of the direction myself. It can be dangerous with shifting winds so avoid it then for sure, but in the ocean you should have fairly steady winds but I have no experience there. Instead of going straight down wind you could have tacked your way down, and given your speed increase on a long reach you wouldn't loose much time, kind of an amazing thing really.
I think your drone shots are great... perhaps when editing you could use some transitions between shots instead of including the camera repositioning... but in either case... I think they're great! I really enjoy your adventures and narration!
Thank you for watching William. A bow thruster was one of those things I would not have spent the money on if buy new. But since this boat had one, well I figured I should use it. And now I can't imagine life without one. (Remember that this is a full keel boat and not a fin keel). CUOTO
Thank you very much for watching and supporting the channels Norm. Spoiler.... I have some really good footage coming up in coming weeks. I got some amazing shots of the cliffs on Monhegan Island. CUOTO

As always Tim very interesting- thanks for uploading this one
Thank you very much for watching Mike! CUOTO
nice views on the canal and excellent flying the drone tim
Thank you James. CUOTO
I love your palm tree.
😂😂😂😂 Thank you. There is a back story about that having to do with being to drunk to find the boat in a crowded anchorage. 😂 CUOTO

Thank you for watching Albert. You are lucky. I do not believe they let you sail through the canal these days. CUOTO

enjoyed watch. very cool! cant wait for the Gloucester one. i've been there and Rock Port several times many years ago.
Thank you for watching Ron. Gloucester was great and I had the best meal of the entire three week trip there too! CUOTO
1:32 I see you still have your palm tree lol The harbor seals knew you were going up north so they sent a "greeting party" 😀
Right? 😂 Thank you for watching Nicholas. CUOTO

Thank you for watching Bob. Yes. I agree. CUOTO
Good one
Thank you for watching John. CUOTO
I always enjoy going under the bridges than over

Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
👍☑️👏
Thank you for watching. CUOTO
I love the tubular rail on your boat. It must prove invaluable to you?
Thank you for watching John. I wish it went the entire length of the boat! CUOTO
Hopefully you hit PTown during Carnival week. Shenanigans big time! We’re heading up to our house in Eastham next week. CUOTO
We Did! I love that place. Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO

Good vid Captain Tim. You better not tick off your First Mate, she may decide to throw that palm tree overboard (aka: Mr. Roberts). Haha!
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Thank you very much for watching! CUOTO
Order Of The Palm! Great movie.
5:06 Would you please get some shorter U-Bolts or trim those off flush? I would hate for the captain to have to wear an eye patch. ("When did you get the eye patch?" "Arrrr! The first day with the hook.") 🙄
😂😂😂😂😂 You know they have been there for a year and just really started to bother me this trip. 😂 Thank you for watching William. CUOTO
good stuff Tim CUOTO
Thank you very much for watching Lester. CUOTO
It's great to see winds in your sail again. I'm sure it was a great trip, certainly a beautiful setting. CUOTO
Thank you very much for watching and supporting the channels Kyle. It was the best three weeks of my life! CUOTO
Is your locator on? You don't seem to be moving, but your video says you are. I like your electric palm tree. Enjoying the ride.

Thank you for Heath. Great idea. CUOTO
Great video Tim. How did previous yachters survive without bow thruster? Wishing you fair winds. Thanks

good job on the cape cod canal and you dident need a assist tug LOL
Thank you for watching Wayne. 😂 😂 😂 Ten points! Too funny. CUOTO
A great video Tim. The drone footage really helped to see the layout at Sandwich including the end of the canal. CUOTO
Thank you very much for watching and supporting the channels Norm. Spoiler.... I have some really good footage coming up in coming weeks. I got some amazing shots of the cliffs on Monhegan Island. CUOTO
Dolphins or Harbor Porpoises?
You are correct. I used to say porpoises but it would open a whole bunch discussions in the comments. Thank you for watching. CUOTO
Awesome 😎 Video
I wish Dalton was there dressed up like a Jack Sparrow 🍺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂 Me too! 😂 But he thinks "sailboats are dumb" 😂 Thank you very much for watching Al. CUOTO
Would you please email me a big lobstah? 🦀
😂😂😂😂 Thank you very much for watching William. Spoiler..... If you love lobstah, wait till you see what's coming in future videos. CUOTO
