Sailing proa KAURI through Wood's Hole, MA

Sailing proa KAURI through strong tidal current in Wood's Hole, MA, delivering the base of Ocean Surfer's mast, broken in a yard accident before launch, back to Martha's Vineyard for repair.

Shunt begins at 00:50 with moving mylar headsail to opposite end, main sheeted and under way at 01:29, headsail raised and sheeted around 02:25 - NOTE: a speedy shunt is done with a jib on both ends; this day wasn't that kind of a "show".

Navigating Woods Hole: "Tricky in the best conditions, with little margin for error. [the current] routinely flows through at over 4 knots, and will hit 7 knots on occasion."
