We’re cruising again!
We left Boothbay Harbor on another hot and humid day with hardly a
breath of wind, and boy could we have made use of some, not only for sailing
but also to cool us a little. We motored
all day, mostly with a slight fair tide thank goodness. The wind teased us late in the trip so we
unrolled the genoa (the main was already hoisted – just in case), but after 5
minutes the wind was back to 2-3 knots and we furled the genoa again.
We had planned to go to Rockport, 44 10.80N 069 04.22W, but by 4pm the fair
tide had turned against us, and we were fed up with motoring, so we turned into
Rockland Harbor, 44 06.76N 069 05.00W, and dropped the hook
behind the breakwater. This turned out
to be a good decision, because we had time for a swim and to cook dinner,
before it started getting dark shortly after 7pm.
