Cape Cod Canal

[stevenit]

Planning the route from here (Annapolis) to Boston, I'm looking the Cap Cod Canal. On the "chart" seems to be a great escape: starting from Martha's Vineyard, where we plan to have a stop coming from Delaware bay, there are roughly 60 NM to reach Provinetown vs roughly 200NM going outside avoiding Nìthe Nantutek shoals....but.. I'm reading that Hog Island Channel seems not really "easy" due current and prevallent wind..so is enough to wait the right day or this day is extremely rare?
(sorry for the English.. I try to do my best)

That channel can build up with steep and somewhat large waves if the current is at peak and the wind is opposing. You'll want to check the canal current times for the day you plan to transit and time it right.

If you use the Google custom search for the forum, and search for cape cod canal, there a more than a few previous threads with advice and tips.
