Launch in Falmouth, run south along the Elizabeths until you come to Tarpaulin Cove.....have a swim.......continue south until you come to Quicks Hole......nice beach there, eat lunch.......go through Quicks into Buzzards Bay and south again to Cuttyhunk.....walk around......come home up Buzzards Bay to WoodsHole (Woods Hole has a neat small aquarium for kids (free) but dockage is tricky....make it a rainy day car trip) and through back to Vineyard Sound, around Nobska and back to Falmouth. Wind usually builds from SW during the day, but you'll have it on your tail coming home. A short stretch at Nobska can get messy if the tide is ebbing against the SW wind, but slow down and you can get through it safely in a 18ft Grady. Another neat kid trip on the Cape, not boat related, is to go to the trout hatchery on 6A in Sandwich, take a picnic and plenty of quarters....you can hand feed the fish......strikingly peaceful place...and not far from Sandwich Museums and Heritage Plantation which has a neat collection of antique cars.
