Our sailing vacation was delayed three days due to a storm
but we finally set sail on Monday June 29th (9am). We motored for a
couple of hours and were then able to put the spinnaker up and achieve a steady
speed of 6 knots. We rounded Cape Ann and looked around anchorages in Rockport
but decided to head on north. Again out came the spinnaker and we had a nice
sail to the Isles of Shoals arriving at 7pm. We considering keeping going to
Cape Elizabeth given the wind was still supposed to be good until about
midnight. But since this would mean arriving in the early hours we decided not
to exhaust ourselves on the first day. We
have tried to a pick up a mooring ball here before but they have always been
taken. This was our lucky day with about 10 available.
