After almost a month of boat work, the mast has been re-stepped and we’re finally headed back to cruising life. We head out with the wind, as we make our way towards Maine, our ultimate destination. In total about 500 nautical miles away, we tackle the passage in pieces stopping first in Cape May NJ, and then in Block Island. After Block Island our next jump is to Hadley Harbor Massachusetts, which is followed by our trip through the Cape Cod Canal headed for Province Town Massachusetts. It’s New England in late July and we’re finally seeing more comfortable temperatures – And, a bunch of harbor seals! We certainly aren’t in the Bahamas anymore 🙃
We leave Province Town on a light air forecast aiming for Maine. Early on we encounter foggy conditions but later the sun comes out and it turns out to be a beautiful passage. We dodge fish pots all the way to our destination spot- The Isle of Shoals. Right on the border of Maine and New Hampshire, this pretty island is about six miles off the coast of Portsmouth, NH. Once anchored, we enjoy a nice dinner on Delos with a small contingent of the Ragged Island Covid crew, our friends on sailing vessel Keelin-it, Linda & Will.
