Winter Harbor

Up and had a nice granola breakfast, coffee and relaxing before pushing off from the mooring at 8:30am at Frencboro. We left under full Main Sail and put the Genoa up shortly after. We hit up to 7 knots and I got to sail for 3/4 of the way. We covered 26 nautical miles and had great wind. Lots of fun dodging the lobster pots, particularly between little duck island. I ended up running between two and it snagged on the back of the tender prop. Luckily we had just brought in the Gennie as we were on a Broad reach almost dead downwind. We let the main out fully and finally managed to come untangled. We bumped along until we go to the harbour, in the rain, and we took a mooring ($60).
Got boat stuff settled and then packed up in the rain and headed for a 1 mile walk to the library. We managed to spend 2 hours at the library and then onto a longer walk to the seafood store for lots of goodies. Back to the boat for lobster, oysters and more. Relaxing evening listening to Brian play the guitar and took a hot shower before bed. It is cold!Read more
