June 27-28 Rockland is more of a working town and a lot less touristy. We did visit two museums and the Puffin Project sponsored by the Audobon Society. The Sail Power and Steam Museum is a small museum started by Captain Jim Sharp, who is quite a character. He is a one man show who […]
June 26 Pulpit Harbor was a convenient anchorage to kill a day before going to Rockland. I was debating to even include it on the BLOG. As it turned out, it was rather interesting. It was a rainy, misty, foggy day so there wasn’t much to look at or do. It was only an hour […]
June 24-25 It was looking like rain for a few days so we decided that we could explore a town in the rain rather than sitting on the boat. On Saturday (6/24) we headed out in a drizzle and arrived in said drizzle at Camden. We are staying on the dock at the Lyman-Morse Marina […]
June 21-23 After a few days of anchoring out we went into town and stayed at a marina in Belfast. A super little town that hasn’t been “discovered” by the masses. We had a great breakfast at an old-fashioned diner and an excellent birthday meal at a very good Italian restaurant. All topped off with […]
June 19-20 After our failure to go ashore at Jewell Island, we have a second chance at Holbrook Island State Park. We anchored in a large bay next to Holbrook Island but just a hop, skip and jump from Castine Maine. The sail up from Seal Bay was only two hours so we splashed the […]
June 15-18 Seal Bay was one destination I was looking forward to. It is absolutely breathtaking. We came in and took a peek at Winter Harbor which is beautiful as well. There was bad weather coming in and it wasn’t quite as protected as Seal Bay. We went around the corner to Seal Bay and […]
June 14 Finally, yes finally, we made it out of Portland. Unexpectedly, the generator was an easy fix. The Hare, not so much. The battery cable needed to be replaced and would take several days to get the Yamaha replacement. We opted for a custom made but, of course, the weekend was in the middle. […]
June 9 The plan was to leave on Wednesday and do a shakeout at Jewell Island which is about an hour from Portland. The anchorage was a tight fit for Terrapin but we managed to find a good holding spot after about four tries. Jewell Island is a state park with some nice hiking trails […]
May 26 Were back in Portland Maine at Dimillos Marina. We splashed the boat last Friday 5/19. Portland Yacht Services boat yard did an outstanding job of decommission and commissioning the boat. They had everything go at the agreed time and completed some key repairs/upgrades that were needed. Unfortunately, one of the repairs was to […]
