Not quite. The Cape Code Canal navigation regulations require sailboats
to
transit the canal under auxilliary power (i.e. motor). So, while you
*can*
motor around it in a boat, you can't sail around it :-)


Words often have multiple definitions. One widely accepted definition of
"sail" is "to navigate or manage a vessel". So, if you *can* motor around
cape Cod in a boat, you CAN sail around it :-)
