Departure Wx- Chesapeake to Maine

Fair enough. I also really dislike it when someone parks upwind of me a sets off their grill or fires up their generator a peak apres-ski hours. 

You can add screaming wind generators to that list.

How does Round Pond work for transients?  My recollection was that the dinghy dock had a max. 15 minute tie-up.

Last time I was there I rented a Padebco mooring, so I used their dock.

Stop in New London and go to Rosies for olde tyme sakes. 

The diner?  I think it closed.  Went there all the time in college, but that in the last millennium.

Rosies has not been rosies for almost 2 decades.  I think it is a Five Guys now.  Norm's is still around though.

That sucks. I guess that's a hint of the last time I was there....

No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.

We love Belfast, but generally stay out of Penobscot Bay until after Labor Day to avoid crowds.

Just broke that rule, and are anchored in Seal Bay, E coast of Vinalhaven. All was good until a funky cruising boat anchored 50’ off our bow, despite the bay being mostly empty.

That's what water balloon canons are for.

Are you referring to what I would call a funnelator?

We skipped Muscongus for Tenants.

Gorgeous day.

Tenants is great. One time the yard came out in pouring rain in a whaler to point us to a mooring.

Woot! Sailed all the way here,  wing on wing. I sailed into the mooring field,  good times! Little kids right it was cool for some reason. 

Some sailing during my sailing vacation puts me right.

Last time we were here was the day  after I met you in Boothbay.

Get some chowder and shellfish from the roving raw bar boat.

I'm on it! They're coming out at 5:30pm.

I am stuck on calls, consumed with jealousy.

We've been surprised so far this week that it is not more crowded. We're currently the only boat in the anchorage between the White Islands (the ones off Hurricane Island). And we've found Perry Creek and Long Cove on Vinalhaven with room to spare.

A frequent topic of conversation onboard is whether we should add a diesel heater. It's quite chilly right now despite the sunshine. Heat would certainly have been nice when we were holed up near Ajax in Port Clyde.

Maybe the cool weather is keeping the numbers down.

Dear Annapolis,

You're doing it wrong. Completely wrong. 

Also, pro tip when coming to Cuttyhunk: Do NOT grab the mooring next to the giant Hatteras. He *will* run the generator.

You bastard!

Why, oh why do powerboats that motor all day have to run their generators all evening.? Do they not have batteries?  Two weeks ago we were next to a particularly bad offender in Edgartown called "Karen". How completely f***ing appropriate!
