Excellent.......excellent, what a day we had on Sunday...............blue skies, bit of a blow (by the way Dave Slater, before you start the sails are away to be cleaned and re-stitched) we decided to have a run a round Isleboro Island....about 30 Nautical miles (Nm) or so. The wind was superb, about 5/6 on the Beaufort scale, but we had to engine all the way.
The day started well, we slipped our berth at Camden and proceeded north up the West Penobscot Bay channel, round the north of the island and back down the East side to Sabbathday Bay for lunch (being staunch Church goers !!!!! LOL).
Off we go again to traverse the island and eventually round the south of Lasell Island (a bit hairy this as there are rocks on both sides on the egress and the tidal flow can take you if you're not careful).
Morgan was at the helm though, so no major problems .........LOL !!!
We just followed the 65 foot (USA measurements) contour out back into the main channel.
Set a course of about 295 deg and back to Camden.
The wind was blowing from the North so we had a bit of an awkward run back to the pontoon, Steve is used to the bow thruster on Curious and the one on Novara is nothing like as powerful...............oooooooppppsss we very nearly took the electric stanchion on the pontoon. No great issue we quickly had her under control and safely bedded down for the night.
A GREAT day out on the sea................even though we had to motor all the way............she's a beauty !!!
The temperature was simply Tropical as you can see!!!!
