We spent the last couple weeks getting the boat squared away to head south for the winter!
Thank you @zimmermanmarineinc for the great service as always!
Awesome video of us coming into the marina courtesy of Searc Fin! Thanks for hanging out and lending us a hand, see you south :)

In retirement our wake up calls come in different forms…today’s “alarm clock” was a giant bait ball around our boat and all the seagulls! No complaints.

Come at me Bro
Come at me bro!
Quite the stow away today! Zero Fs given by Mr. ENORMOUS Seagull while he bathes himself on our solar panels!
We’d go sailing. But I don’t think the thick stuff’s gonna come in for quite a while. 😶🌫️

On 4/8/23 we re-entered the US at Port Everglades, FL bringing our floating home here after almost a year abroad. Our next goal was to sail to Maine and Hike Acadia NP. We got a bit waylaid on our journey but 2285 miles later…We did it! What a crazy journey.

Welp, we did it. We snagged not one but two lobster pots heading out of Rockland within about 20 min of each other! The little “toggles” the add in NE Maine added a new challenge! They really are dense in places. They say it’s not if, but when. At 25’ wide it was bound to happen. So well, check. We were able to fairly easily untangle our selves without having to get in the water. Bonus! The road to Acadia went through the Fox islands thoroughfare to beautiful Kent Cove, where we anchored alone with the harbor seals and a family of rowers! Then headed to Swans Island and Mackerel Cove where we rode out the remnants of Little Debby and met some fantastic people with some great history and knowledge of the area.

Here’s 10 seconds of anchorage serenity.
Quick update since we left Biddeford a little over a week ago! We have been busy LOVING Maine! Some quick notes on the journey. I’d say we sailed the whole way, but the winds have been pretty much dead with the exception of one fairly painful day so a lot of motoring a so far…Lobster pot avoidance. Places we stopped at:
Harpswell: Lobster and Ale House closed 10 min before we got there and didn’t open again for 3 days. Bummer. But, hands down the most beautiful sunsets we have ever seen and the quiet calmness unmatched.
Boothbay Harbor: It was a cold, wet wind-in-the-face choppy 6 hour trip up. Not very fun. Fought our way into the harbor with a mean outgoing choppy current and grabbed a mooring. Ate delish Lobster rolls and hung with friends!
Tenant’s Harbor: Saw Puffins on Egg Island Rock in route, chatted with a Lobsterman at the Outback Saloon, a hand built ground up outdoorsy bar. It got very foggy here than not then foggy than not.
Then Rockland Harbor. A fantastic port with a major Lobster Festival. Hightights a 5k Run, Full Lobster dinner, the Great Crate Races. The USCGC Eagle and DDG (119) Delbert D. Black, and for Kevin, Maple Bourbon Bacon…on a stick. And the fabulous Owls Head Transportation Museum!
It’s been a blast…now time to head out to the coastal Islands off the coast for some scenery and hiking!

Bit of a foggy wet sail where the sun came out on our arrival into Woods Island Harbor in Biddeford, ME. While we didn’t go ashore on this stop. We hung out with friends, paddle-boarded and enjoyed some quiet and spectacular sunsets!
