day eighteen - Belfast


Sails up 6:25 and no wind.  Under power.  Low overcast.  7:00 some wind, motorsailing northwest.


8:35 see the red marker for Belfast Harbor.


And soon the forest of masts of boats in the mooring field.  


Tied up 9:30 Belfast with help from Kathy, the world's nice Harbor Master.  She can't help but smile.


And of course the delights of visiting an exotic port: laundry, shower, lunch (caesar salad with shrimp), a trip to the co-op for supplies and dinner (broiled haddock and a couple of beers).


It is a nice town and the folks on the waterfront are very friendly.


Then back to the boat to repack breakfasts and lunches for the second half of the cruise.

Second half of the cruise? You coming home for Thanksgiving? haha I'm thinking more of the temps - must be getting cool of not down right cold in the Mornings?! From this side it is imagining what it is like to exist solely out doors for all that time! - amazing - thank you Steve

The sail was August 1 to Sept 2, the log recorded in a notebook on the boat. Just now posting it online with the addition of images and tracking maps. Steve
