Left Bar Harbor in very light conditions and cruised downwind with just the main. Wind picked up to high teens and got the boat under full power on a beam reach making 8.5kts. Was amazing. Coming into the set of islands decided to put my sails up. She is just to big for me to maneuver under full power in tight spaces. Proceeded to loose my engine entirety. Got the main sail and stay sail up in 20kts. Sailed into the anchorage. Dropped hook and sails at the same time. Kept my cool, could have cried. Epic first solo sail
