The Vineyard's shore passed into the distance as Mark Lovewell took the helm of Sea Chantey for a fall sail. Buzzards Bay called him and soon Penikese Island was on the horizon. Autumn can be the best time for sailing; winds pick up, fewer boats are on the water, and the Cape and Islands are all just a sail away.
