Yesterday, we left our bikes at Hodgdons Boothbay dock so that
today, when we docked for fuel we could pick them up more easily.
After refueling, we set sail for Five Islands, 43 49.39N 069 42.51W. We had a glorious sail, beating out towards
the southern tip of Southport Island in winds between 12 and 15 knots. We rounded the tip and started a broad reach
towards Five Islands just as the wind increased up to 20 knots. Perfect - 20 knots is fine for a broad reach,
but less desirable for a beat.
We picked up a Five Islands Yacht Club mooring, (which they
offer free for the first 2 nights, thank you very much), and went ashore for a
bike ride. A hike in the Reid State Park
was followed with a swim in the beautiful, warm, freshwater swimming hole,
Charles Pond.
We returned to the boat for pasta primavera, followed by
cocoanut ice cream and rum! Life is
tough.
