July 10th

We went back to Southwest Harbor, looking for a place to get the outboard repaired.  No luck here, headed back towards Rockland in hopes of repairs there.  Would have hald to wait a week, made a new plan.  Headed to Dark Harbor Boat Yard near Isleboro and it was fixed in an hour.  We've now got a rebuilt carborator and off to Rockland to reprovision.

It's July and we're in Southwest Harbor, MDI

We spent a couple more days in Seal Bay on Vinalhaven, love this harbor.   Then a couple days at Buckle Island, another one of our favorites.  Then today over to Southwest Harbor on Mt Dessert Island.  Still having some issues with the outboard, it seems to run when it wants to.  Hope to get it looked at the end of this week.  Headed up to Somes Sound tomorrow for a few days.

Rockland to Boothbay Windjammer Days and back

We spent almost a week cruising around Northhaven and Vinalhaven, then Muscongus Bay and on to Boothbay. Spent 4 days in Boothbay which wasn't the plan but ran into some rain, had to do some maintenance and then Windjammer Days. The Schooners were great as always.  Now back in Rockland for a day or two before heading further downeast.
