<\/a>Overview…<\/em><\/strong>
\nThis was our second trip to Maine in as many summers. We might not have gone back so soon, but the camera failed last year, producing many rolls of 1\/4 frame images. (Amazing how little real information is captured on the bottom quarter of a picture!) Nan and I will be in Jabberwocky<\/em>, our Freedom 28. Traveling along with us will be Paul Merry in his Luders 33, Aurora<\/em> – is two boats a rally? His wife Sally will join us in Maine; she can do without the long days of the passage but loves the island hopping once there.<\/p>\n
We’d laid out a float plan with a couple of long days at the beginning and end for the passage up and back. Short first and last days help get rolling and come back down. The two weeks were chosen based on going out and returning through the Cape Cod Canal with the current; we from Onset and Paul from Padanarum. The rest of the trip we seemed to face adverse currents, perhaps this is a bad premise.

<\/a>The Long Version…<\/em><\/strong>

<\/a>What Worked… <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
New this year were real sheets and blankets! A definate improvement over sleeping bags. We also have a new CD\/MP3 player after the one the original owner had installed finally died last year. This provided some enjoyable evenings of suitable Cape Breton music (Rankins, Natalie MacMaster). Less exciting but worthwhile was the new holding tank which made nights in the forecabin more pleasant. A manual pumpout for the tank made it possible to empty it offshore; pumpouts being quite rare in Maine, compared to Buzzards Bay. The new chart light for the cockpit was never needed, I’m happy to say.<\/p>\n
Best new clothing of the year was down vests from the Lands End overstock catalog. These were just the thing for cool afternoons when a sweater would have been too much. As always with Maine in the summer, it’s cool at night and you need long, warm stuff, but like anywhere it’s warm in the sun when it’s shorts and T-shirt time. Some days I’d put on and take off a fleece shirt several times in an afternoon!<\/p>\n
As we found last year, the Mountain House camp meals were fine for when fresh food ran out. Again our combination of navigational tooks worked well: a large-scale NOAA chart for the big picture, the ChartKit for closer-in work, the Garmin GPSmap 76 with Waterways&Lights CD detail for planning and positions, the Taft Guide for good local knowledge and the Embassy Guide for phone numbers and harbor mini-charts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
