Jerome Rand is sailing his 32-foot Westsail, *Mighty Sparrow*, toward the eastern coast of Cape Cod after a multi-week passage from North Carolina.▶ 1:38 Approximately 45 miles from his destination, he is navigating the waters south of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, where he reports heavy shipping traffic and extensive offshore wind farm construction.▶ 0:37 He relies on Navionics on an iPad as his primary navigation tool, supplemented by localized paper charts, to transit the area's channels and shoals.▶ 7:35 The vessel’s engine is operational, though Rand has been sailing in light, five-knot winds.▶ 0:58 He maintains a list of potential anchorages as bailout zones if fatigue from his 36-hour watch becomes unmanageable.▶ 2:21 The passage, which he describes as difficult and characterized by light winds, concludes a trip that bypassed New York due to unfavorable northeast winds.▶ 9:00 Rand plans to dock in Rockland, Maine, following his arrival in Cape Cod.▶ 12:05
