Our first sail of the season. We woke up intending to motor through Townsend Gut to Boothbay Harbor where we
would pick up a mooring, shop and get sorted out ready to receive guests. However, the wind was blowing and the tides
looked good for sailing around Southport Island to Boothbay Harbor. So that’s what we did.
We beat out of Sheepscot River with an ebb tide, and when we reached the tip of the island, the
tide turned and carried us into Boothbay on a run. Perfect.
Well almost perfect – the wind instruments stopped working as soon as we
set off, which made the beat more interesting.
Nevertheless we had a great first sail.
Let’s hope all our sails work out that well!
We picked up a DEYC mooring in Boothbay, 43 50.96N 069 37.65W, and had lunch.
Teresa went shopping and Ron fixed the wind instruments and
the wifi Bullet.
