Sorry that we cannot update more often. It seems the places we like to visit are the remote ones and I cannot even establish a hotspot to make a post.
Our latest locations:
York, Maine one night on a rented mooring
Portland Yacht Club for two nights on a mooring they gave us on a reciprocity basis given that we are members of Wayzata Yacht Club
Jewell Island for two nights at anchor, five miles from PYC
Seguin Island for two nights on a free mooring where we got to know the volunteer keepers
Monhegan Island for two nights on a rented mooring
Burnt Coat Harbor on Swans Island, at anchor, where we finally caught up with Mac who is here, with his wife Pat. We attended the last night of the Sweet Chariot Music Festival
Northeast Harbor where we first kept Gryphon for the first summer that we had her. We arrived here with several bags of trash we had not been able to get rid of, full holding tanks, no water and several loads of dirty laundry. Two out of three of our propane tanks were empty and we had identified plenty of stuff we just wanted off the boat. In one place we were pretty much able to take care of all these needs. They put us on 40’ section of dock floating in the harbor but not connected to land which was quite handy. I pulled the dinghy up and did some repairs and even had a hardware store nearby for material. They provide wifi after over a week of incredibly spotty cellular service. Then we have been invited to a potluck dinner with the Ocean Cruising Club tonight. We will hit the grocery store and West Marine on our way out of town. We will be heading to some of the little islands off Stonington now that we are freshly supplied and unburdened.
