41:15.64N 72:28.69W With the wind now forecast to come from the north east,
where we wanted to go, we changed plans and decided to just get as far east as
we could. The first tack took us just west of north and the next just east of
south, heading not far off where we had just left from. We tacked back almost
immediately as the tide pushed us the wrong way. After a few hours of not making
much progress in the right direction the wind dropped and the tide turned in our
favour. We decided to make for Duck Island as it would give us a short trip
across the Sound tomorrow with more easterlies forecast.
