The rain has gone and it’s another beautiful day. We started out with a bike ride to Ocean
Point 43
48.92N 69 35.81W which is the other side of Linekin Bay, where we were
planning to spend the night. The ride
was gorgeous and we covered 14 miles. 
Winds were forecast light, so we anticipated a very
leisurely sail to Linekin Bay. As it
turned out the winds were perfect at between 8 and 15 knots. On the way out, we saw a couple of the
Windjammer ships in outer Boothbay harbor.
They were heading back in, and a little too late we decided to follow
them and see if we could catch them. On
a reach we may have had a chance, but pretty soon they headed downwind, and
with their massive gaff sails spread out before the wind, we couldn’t catch
them. Oh well, it was fun trying, and we
were now almost back in Boothbay harbour and had a very pleasant beat out for
the 2nd time.
Linekin Bay is a great bay to sail in. Wide open, not too many lobster pots, and the
hazards are well marked. We anchored in
the NW corner, 43
51.44N 069 36.19W, and very nice it was too! As the crow flies we’re about 1.5 miles from
Boothbay Harbor but it’s so different here.
Very peaceful, no tourists, just a few houses and moorings and no
razzamatazz.
