August 13th Robinhood Marine Center, Georgetown, Maine

It's been a long time since the last post. We proceeded up LI Sound to Stonington for a couple of days. Then a long day up to Onset, Ma. getting in at 2:30 in the morning. It was a beautiful night and couldn't resist keeping on going. Spent a few days in Onset doing laundry, groceries, water and fuel. Always enjoy stopping there.
Then leaving at 10:30 am to catch the current for transiting the Cape Cod Canal made it all the way to Maine. Arriving at Robinhood at 2:30 the next afternoon. What an enjoyable sail, sailing most of the way.
Now enjoying Maine for a couple of weeks. Boothbay for a couple of days, Tenants Harbor to meet up with Cape Dory Cruise and on to Carvers Cove on Vinylhaven. Stopped at Calderwood for lunch and short walk on the Island. No lobsters so far this year.  Off to Rockland for one day needed Propane and water.
From there up to Warren Island and Belfast. Had never been to Belfast really enjoyed it for 3 days. After this long beautiful day sailing all the way to Maple Juice.  Then back to Robinhood having to motor the whole way.
We've received an offer on Solmar and need to hang close to Robinhood for a survey. We'll know more later.
