Re: Best cruising East Coast of North America

When we sailed up beyond Nain, Labrador we were joined by bergy bits (tiny icebergs) in several anchorages, and more than once had to dodge them on coastal passages. It was fun to chip off a bit of...

Re: Best cruising East Coast of North America

The St. John River is spectacular, and it is exciting to transit the Reversing Falls. I can remember one anchorage laying on deck watching two bald eagles circling above our boat. One of the big...

Re: Best cruising East Coast of North America

Yep, Maine is gorgeous, and you can hike up actual (low) mountains for spectacular views. Roque Isle is the ultimate destination for a Down East Cruise, and it has the distinction of one of the few...

What do you mean by "NFL?" North Florida?

Beautiful beaches in New England too. Chappaquiddick Island.

Re: Best cruising East Coast of North America

I've anchored a lot all over the Chesapeake, and there are some places with very soupy, gelatinous mud that is quite deep before you get to thicker, better holding mud. I have found it is helpful to...

Re: Best cruising East Coast of North America

View from one of the old WWII bunkers looking southwest toward Sow and Pigs Reef, Cuttyhunk. Lots of nice trails on the island for walking.

Re: Best cruising East Coast of North America

Anchorage off the beach at Menemsha, August 2023. Plenty of room!

Re: Best cruising East Coast of North America

It's a great place to overnight with a typical summer southwest breeze, and you're right, tuck in down in the corner near the house ashore. Believe it or not a few years ago I was the only boat in...

Re: Best cruising East Coast of North America

By the way, I started this thread not to disparage other areas, but instead to point out what I see as the advantages of Southern New England. I've really enjoyed cruising everywhere between Canada...

Re: Best cruising East Coast of North America

And, no hurricanes in the winter! Plus, the Bahamas is nearby, where you could spend a lifetime cruising. Like they say, 700 islands in 700 miles....

Re: Best cruising East Coast of North America

Yes, there is some wonderful gunkholing available in Florida! But, I would argue you don't have the wonderful sailing from harbor to harbor, with your pick of interesting anchorages almost no matter...

Re: Best cruising East Coast of North America

Southern NE has a lot less lobster buoys than Maine!

Re: Best cruising East Coast of North America

There's great anchoring in Vineyard Haven inside Lagoon Pond, or between the bridge and the town east of the channel, or over toward the yacht club outside the breakwater, or just north of the...

Re: Best cruising East Coast of North America

I've been all the way up to Labrador, but I still vote for the best segment being between Cape Cod and Block Island. Newfoundland, Labrador, and Nova Scotia have spectacular scenery, interesting (to...

Re: Best cruising East Coast of North America

Agree with all of them! One thing I have learned to appreciate over time is that it is a fantastic place to learn the ropes of sailing and cruising because of the variable conditions. You experience...

Re: Best cruising East Coast of North America

I'm never bored on the water, but I do agree it is fun to be able to venture further afield. On the East Coast it is great to be a snowbird and move with the changing seasons, maybe from Canada to...

Best cruising East Coast of North America

I've been cruising the East Coast of North America for a long time, from Labrador down to Florida, and Mexico to Panama. I've also done the Bahamas and chunks of the Caribbean, but I'm going to leave...
