In today’s episode, Mike and I discuss an overnight passage from Marion, Massachusetts to Port Washington, NY.  That’s a distance of approximately 150 nautical miles.  Marion is located in Sippican Harbor which is off of Buzzards Bay and Port Washington is in Manhasset Bay, which is on the north side of long island, very close to NYC.  It makes Port Washington a great stopover when transiting through NYC via the East River.

We discuss the challenges of sailing at night and how to plan your passage so you arrive at your destination during daylight hours.

We also have another podcast, with over 100 episodes titled, The Unconventional Path: Entrepreneurship and Innovations Stories with Bela and Mike.  Feel free to check it out.

In today’s episode, we will explore the destination of Marion, Massachusetts. Marion is located in Sippican Harbor which is off of Buzzards Bay.

If you haven’t sailed Buzzards Bay, put it on your bucket list.

Marion and the Beverly Yacht Club are located a short sail off of Buzzards Bay in Sippican Harbor.  If you are transiting through the Cape Cod Canal, it’s a very convenient stopover.

If you’re a sailor, you may have heard of Marion, as it is the start of the Marion to Bermuda race.  The Marion to Bermuda Cruising Yacht Race is held in odd-numbered years, from Marion, Massachusetts to the island of Bermuda, a distance of 645 nautical miles

One of the highlights of this trip was getting a mooring right next to Tabor Boy, a ninety-two foot, gaff-rigged, two-masted schooner.  Check out the links below.

This is the inaugural episode of a new podcast called Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the USA.  The hosts for the show are Bela Musits, who has many years of sailing experience, and Mike Wasserman who knows almost nothing about sailing. Not only that, Mike is actually located in Germany, not near any water that you could sail anything more than a Sunfish on. But, Mike is interested in learning more about sailing. So, here we go! But why this podcast? Bela and Mike met when they were both business professors at Clarkson University, in Potsdam NY.  Then three years ago, Mike moved to Germany and is now a professor at Münster School of Business in Munster Germany. Bela retired last year from Clarkson and started doing some more sailing. So, really, this is just an interesting way for Mike and Bela to stay connected, learn from each other, and hopefully share some of our curiosity with like-minded others.
