The Cruise

The 'Cape Cod Circumnavigation Cruise' (a.k.a. CCCC, C(4), and Four Seas) will be a week long free flowing fun cruise around Cape Cod starting late July or early August of 2009.

In 2007 a full circumnavigation did not take place, but we did complete a modified circumnavigation and a great time was had by all.

The last cruise started at the site of the Black Dog Dash (a 23 mile not so serious race & fun event) in Vineyard Haven on Martha's Vineyard.

The route and stops for this year's cruise will be decided along the way by the participants based on the wind, waves, and weather, but possible stops include Nantucket, Chatham, Provincetown, Onset, Pocassett, Hadley Harbor, Edgartown, Waquoit, and a trip through the Cape Cod Canal.

Expected Timetable

Unknown at this point.

Driving Directions: From the North take I-495 South (towards Cape Cod).
Take the I-195 West exit to get to Route 28 (first exit on I-195 and less than 1 mile from I-495). Once on Route 28 follow the signs to Main St., Wareham Center. Follow Main St. (Route 6) through town and at the traffic light just over the Wareham River. Take a right on Narrow's Road. Take your next right onto Oak Street and the ramp is a short distance on the right.

From the West use I-195 and take the Route 28 Exit (Just before the end of I-195). Then follow the above directions.

WARNING!!!   If you are leaving from Wareham and headed through Woods Hole, you MUST pay attention to to the Woods Hold Tide Tables. You caould end up getting stuck in the middle (don't ask how I know this).
