Distance Travelled: 16.9 nm | Bucks Harbor to Carver Cove, Vinalhaven

H and G departed 1015. Put boat back together and left Bucks 1210, after brief chat w/Andrew. ¶ Powered south into light s-sw breeze. Fair current, making good time. Near Bradbury Island wind started to build. At Eagle Island decided I could sail, figuring I could make my course withonly 2 or 3 tacks. Nice sail at 4.5-5.5 in variable s-sw breeze 5-15 knots. Made Fox Island Thoroughfare and reached in to Carver Cove. Dropped hook in 16 at low at 1540. Only 2 or 3 other boats. ¶ Harbor is huge and open to north, but fine in settled weather. Appears to be fish pens or other floating nets at head of harbor, hard to see. Plenty of space to anchor in 9-18 feet. Soft mud. Back down hard with plenty of scope so anchor can dig deep. ¶ Had cocktails and cought up on logbook. Nice firewors way off to the North, presumably on North Haven, though I'm not positive. Watched w/binocs.
