We took a three day trip down the Sheepscot River and into the bay. Along the way we activated all the systems in order to find any problems. Everything on board from water to electronics was turned on, everything we could use we used. We found a few small problems, a couple of quirks, but most importantly we learned how to use all of our new equipment.
Departing, between Fort Edgecomb and North end of Westport Island:
Heading down the river, zero wind!
Heading East into the Cross River and Ovens Mouth, South of Edgecomb, North of Barter’s Island. Really beautiful spot way down in (check the map tab):
Seal swimming by:
Out in the Sheepscot Bay East of Sequin Island. Got all the sails up, tuned (tightened) the rigging and just enjoyed a peaceful sail with no engine:
Then we had lobsters of course!
We’re taking another trip in a few days, probably to Rockland or…who knows??
