Doug - Nobska Point, actually, and the lighthouse is still there.

You have the rest of it right.  The fleet sailed across The Strait 
and Broadway (the two channels through Woods Hole Passage) to get out 
into the Sound.

The boat in this shot is a Thistle.  That's me at the helm, about 35 
years ago, out in front of the pack for once.  I haven't changed a 
bit, B.T.W.   ;-)

Glad you enjoyed the shots.
