Morning comes with breakfast cooked over the camp fire. How nice! I knew Harold was a great boat builder and sailor, now I know he is a great chef too.
Back at Brooklin Boat Yard on Center Harbor, SPARTINA rests at her mooring with the mizzen flying. I was honored just to get to tie up near all those beautiful boats.
I am not much for taking photographs of me with other people, but I see Maynard and cannot help myself. His friends takes a nice photograph for me with this legend of a man.
Anna, always ready to row, takes me back out to SPARTINA, rowing against a good breeze and some chop. No problem for her.
It is my last full day on the water and I have nothing to do save sail on a beautiful day. Sail off the mooring 10:55, tacking my way through Center Harbor.
Just outside the harbor, we cross tacks with Maynard on his yawl ARAMINTA.
11:35 at the west end of the Torrey Islands, sail east on Eggemoggin Reach and tack inside of Little Babson Island. Cross the reach and turn into the islands on the south side. Duck behind Conoray, Bear and Black Islands. See Bella heading out on her first sail on Maine waters.
1:50 turn into Greenlaw Cove. I had always thought it would make a good anchorage, but it does not. Wide and shallow, there is no protection from the wind. 2:30 turn back downwind. 3:15 turn into what I think is Fish Cove, though the charts are not clear on that. Again, I find there is not much protection there either. Turn back.
3:40 making 2.8 crossing the reach to Babson Island. 3:50 better wind and doing 4.0 until the disappears. Finally a last breeze, 1.9 into the anchorage behind Babson Island. Anchor down 3:45.
11.05 NM
