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.

Cruise Finis!

Thanks

Thanks for the good read. I felt as if I were there. I sure am looking forward getting back out myself next year!

My pleasure!

I wrote more than I might have because I knew that several of my friends who normally would be out cruising had let other aspects of life get in the way this year!
