"...whoever was the guy to say leaving in the fall was a brilliant idea...was dead wrong to arrive on the Cape in November. I would have delayed leaving for five months.

It was not their intent to "arrive on the Cape". Their intended destination was farther south. The arrival a Plymouth was due to the vagaries of nature and navigation.

My ancestors arrived in the second wave (1630), and they didn't fare much better, making landfall in a swamp and at a goodly distance from the original landfall, and being dumped ashore by their vessel. They had to be "rescued" by later ships in the flotilla.
