9.5 Nautical Miles | Portland Yacht Club
There's not much to report from this final day. I slept in til 0730, then enjoyed a lazy breakfast of fried eggs and thick-cut sourdough toast. And, of course, coffee. The weather wasn't great—cold and grey—so I decided to just get ready and head out. By 0815 I was underway, powering in basically still air.
Clean!
I powered across Broad Sound, then past Hope Island, where the owner now appears to have a horse farm, or at least stables and a riding area. As I passed through Chandler's Cove, the both the sun and wind started to appear. But I was only a mile from home, and lazily decided to just power the last bit to PYC.
Arriving back home, I immediately took the boat in to the dock for a much-needed bath, and spent 90 minutes or so cleaning her up before putting her back on the mooring and calling the launch at 1330.
