Crew
The skipper for this trip will be
Ted Young Cell: 617-447-8439 Home: 617-776-7473
The current plan is that the race crew will take the boat to Southwest
Harbor in Maine, arriving either on Sunday July 14, or Monday July 15.
There, we will swap out crew. At this point, we are planning to have
two major legs on the return back to Boston:
- Southwest Harbor to Portland, ME (arriving on the 16th, 17th, or 18th).
- Portland to Boston (arriving on the 19th, 20th, or 21st).
For leg 1, the crew will be:
- Ulric Ferner
- Eyal Dechter
- David Strubbe
- Ami Yaacobi
- Shai Yaacobi
For leg 2, the crew will be:
- Robert Chave
- Bryan Haslam
- David Healey
- Jayce Cheng
Schedule
The actual scheduling will depend on when X Dimension returns from Halifax, but here is a tentative schedule. Please see Maine Harbors for list of possible harbors during the voyage.
- Sunday, July 14 - Drive to Southwest Harbor, meet the race crew, load supplies, if sufficient daylight, head west and possibly stop at Stonington for the evening.
- Monday, July 15 - Head west, perhaps stopping in Rockland Harbor, or Boothbay Harbor for the evening.
- Tuesday, July 16 - Try to make it to Portland
- Wednesday, July 17 - Swap crew in Portland, sail to Portsmouth, NH
- Thursday, July 18 - Sail to Gloucester
- Friday, July 19 - Sail to Boston
Update: X Dimension intends to depart Halifax on Thursday, July 11 at 8pm. She intends to arrive in Bar Harbor on the morning of Sunday, July 14. She will have seven crew aboard (Silas is flying back to the U.S. from Halifax), five of whom will need transportation to Boston (Hannah is meeting her parents).
Provisions
Transportation
Car
This is certainly the most flexible option. Ted can provide two cars, but will have limited room for gear, cushions, provisions, and the outboard motor. We may be able to use Scott's minivan if we can locate it. Cost: gas for 2 vehicles for 600 miles each: ~$240.
Other Transportation Options
- Greyhound: Boston to Bangor: 3 trips per day, ~4-1/2 hours, $45/person.
- Bar Harbor Shuttle: Bangor to Bar Harbor: 4 trips per day, ~1-1/2 hours: $40/person
- Amtrak: Boston to Portland: $20/person
