Schooner Ernestina is transiting from
Boston toward the Cape Cod Canal this afternoon
with 17 Elderhostelers aboard for a six-day
program that will finish in New Bedford on
Saturday morning, June 3rd. The chart image shows the Ernestina
moving SW'ly (orange track) with Provincetown off
to the northeast and the ship under an hour out
of the East End of the Cape Cod Canal. The Canal
is at the bottom left of the image. Plymouth Bay
is in the upper left. For scale, there is about
15 nautical miles from top to bottom in the
image.
The red track
shows the previous run from New Bedford to Boston
on Saturday, the orange track shows the current
track enroute to Martha's Vineyard for Tuesday.
The ship will be
anchoring tonight by 2000 EDT near Aucoot Cove
(South of Sippican Neck) in Buzzards Bay.
