Slow and steady wins the race

Tom McDonagh

After a great day enjoying all that Seguin Island has to offer, we decided to raise the main shaking out the reef and run directly downwind to Allen Island. We had a low stress run with only one jibe as we rounded south end of the island. We avoided Old man and Old Woman ledges by keeping “2 OM” to our port. We squeezed past the dry ledges between Allen and Burnt Islands under sail with a half knot current pushing us along. We turned to port into Georges Harbor with the wind on our nose. With reluctance, we fired up our motor and dropped the main. The harbor is a deep cut between Allen and Bennet Island. Good deep water seems consistent all the way through. We picked up the 4th mooring available with 1.5 knot current against us. Stunning vistas with the sound of surf to the south west. We are amazingly lucky!
