After a nice night aboard we headed back to PYC to avoid the nasty weather that was forecast for Saturday night into Sunday. There wasn't much wind, but we managed the short return without firing up the engine at all.

With no long cruise on the schedule for the summer, we were anxious to at least get out for a few overnights and possibly long weekends. To that end, we scheduled our first overnight for the weekend of June 14. Though the weather didn't seem to be promising for Saturday night into Sunday, we mangaged to get out on Friday evening for a night aboard.

We put together a little video from our 2007 Penobscot Bay Cruise. It's a 15meg Quicktime video file. Enjoy.

Distance Travelled: 291 nm | July 23 to August 15, 2007

This year's cruise was broken up into three separate stages. First, a "Delivery Cruise" with Tim Lackey helping out aboard Daseinfrom Falmouth to Rockland, then cruising in tandem with Glissando up to Bucks Harbor.

The second stage was the "Family Cruise" when I would meet Heather and Gavin in Bucks Harbor for a week or so of cruising around Penobscot Bay and Mount Desert.

Finally, the cruise ended with a "Solo Cruise" as I brought the boat back home alone.
