We had gorgeous weather leaving Portland on Friday - 10 knots of wind on a broad reach all the way to our first island. Got on shore for some exploring, and had a great meal with a 360 degree fireworks display in the middle of Casco Bay. We had lots of fog the next couple days, but that didn’t stop us from sailing! We went out for a sporty day with 18-22 knots on the beam as we headed back to Portland, and the boat took it like a charm - I considered reefing, but Boubou was sure-footed enough we didn’t quite need it. Except for a huge bug that flew into my ear and required about 2 hours of spraying water into my canal, it was the most dreamy trip of the summer, so far!!
