Weather permitting it should be fine as long as you are prepared. Passage making is different from sailing. Plan to make 50 miles a day max, so it will take two approximately ten hour days at an average speed of ~5 knots. Don't mess around. If you aren't making time under sail, then power sail or just power. Be sure that your engine is up to the task and that you have adequate fuel. Plan out your stopping point (Florence?) as well as alternatives if something happens. Bring one experienced person along if you are inexperienced. I hired a Captain and we moved my 30 footer 180 miles in three days, most of it motoring due to a lack of wind, but the lack of wind meant we had an uneventful trip from a weather perspective. We ended up in front of a line of thunderstorms at the end with a nice 6+ knot sail from Scituate up to Winthrop. The rain started coming down after the boat was tied up and unloaded.
