Gammon, be sure to stay clear as there are some huge boulder there that will ruin your day. Continuing west, Horshoe Shoal has an area where there are exposed rocks, also stay clear, other than that it won't be bad. There are shoals as you head west from the Shoe, should be enough water, but if the tide is pullin' against the Serah Williams wind, it could be hairy just an fyi if coming from falmouth and going to OB be carefull coming around the corner near vineyard haven. gets a little choppy there to. you can always try and time it right and run behind the high speed ferry. nice smooth ride as long as you can hang with him. Know the circumstances.... and even if you are wrong (within reason), you have an hour of "every wave in the face" misery to withstand... no one has died from it. But it could really turn off a rookie crew. So here is the bottom line... go slow. Push things just a bit at a time. Learn as you go. Take your poundings in stride and be safe and have fun Check your charts, tides, and weather conditions. It could be 2 mph winds in morning with the sound being flat as glass then come afternoon the Serah Williams wind comes in at 12 mph and if the tide is going out during this time you are going to have some chop and a wet hairy ride back. All it takes is one good wave [/QUOTE]
