Can We Escape Maine? Time to Sail South!! (Calico Skies Sailing, Ep 80)

We seem to make a habit of overstaying our season in each spot we travel to 🙃. Whether it is the sweltering heat of the Bahamas this past June (almost July) or the freezing cold air in Maine at the end of October, we just seem to stay too late LOL. Well the time has come for us to start our long trek south. In this episode we set sail from Camden Maine heading towards Monhegan Island it stage for a passage south to Cuttyhunk. We come very close to snagging a lobster pot on our last sail in Maine waters. Luckily we got the boat in neutral in time but we heard the pot hit the propeller.

Monhegan Island is super quaint and happens to be one to be the first spot settled in Maine back in the 1600’s. We wish we had more time to properly check it out but we are on a mission to take any available weather windows south. We have a pre passage hot toddy on Avalon before setting sail the next morning.

It feels good to be back at sea after a long summer of coastal hoping around Maine. We get into our at sea routine pretty quickly. As it seems to always go we need to make sail changes just as we are preparing to enjoy a nice warm meal.
