June 26: 19.0 Nautical Miles

Heather and I headed down to the boat to beat the intense heat and humidity. Not much better on the water, but a little relief. Weather was the ubiquitous "Hazy, hot, and humid" with a light sea breeze. Had a nice light air sail on a beam reach toward Chebeague at 2.5-5.5 knots. Variable, with some nice gusts to get the boat moving. Sailed up between Chebeague and Littel John, then hardened up out Broad Sound. 4 or 5 light air tacks up the sound past Stockman Island. Tacked off to head toward Hope Island. Wind light and shifty, but eventually got past Sand Island. Wind increased between Chebeague and Hope Island. 6.0-6.5 knot beat up to Chandler's. Nice sail through Chandler's all on one tack. Reached across toward Cow Island ledge. Passed inside, then reached off around Clapboard. Wind lightened up. Motored the last 1/2 mile so we wouldn't be late to our "Birth Class" at the hospital!
