mrmacey,

You should be aware that although a 13 mph wind blowing WITH the tide may seem do-able, that same wind blowing AGAINST a strong tide, can raise a big sea in a hurry.
Plan for a roundtrip with the absolute latest MARINE forecast for wind and a solid knowledge of what the tide will be doing both ways.

BTW...the current marine forecast for Cape Cod Bay Saturday, is for SW 15-20 kts.....with full moon tides.

Have fun, be careful.

Dave
