Happy birthday Rome!
We woke up to another hot sunny day. Winds were light so we dilly dallied around
in the morning.
Eventually it was time
to set off towards North East harbor or Sommes Harbor, despite the lack of
wind. We motored for 3 hours and then
the wind picked up and we beat through the lobster pots until we got to the
entrance to North East Harbor, 44
16.80N 68 16.44W. The sailing was
great now and having motored for so long, we decided to continue sailing up
Somes Sound, 44
18.90N 68 18.63W. Somes Sound is
billed as a fjord in the sailing guides.
It was beautiful, but nothing like the fjords in Newfoundland. We arrived at Somes Harbor, 44
21.62N 68 19.63W and dropped the hook next to several other like-minded
sailboats. It is a beautiful harbor,
albeit crowded with moorings.
We planned to take our bikes ashore for an exploratory ride,
but thunder and lightning reared their ugly heads in the distance and we
decided to stay put. As it turned out we
didn’t get any storms in the evening.
We put the mosquito nets up and dined on lamb chops,
asparagus, potatoes and carrots, washed down with red wind. Life is tough on the high seas!
After dinner Ron tried his hand at fishing again, but
returned fishless with tales of the multitude of mosquitos out there. It seems our mosquito nets work quite well!
