Subject: oarclub qualifying run

I haven't been on this forum for like seven years, since I got married and moved ashore. Got rid of my live aboard boat and bought a little daysailer on a trailer for the driveway. Anyway I finally got to go for a cruise, and it qualifies for the old oarclub thing which was 100 miles engineless, 3 ports.

So I set out engineless, and with no electronics, in my 16'9" Oday Daysailor from Belfast Maine, 1st of July. Sailed to Cradle Cove, Seven Hundred Acre Island and anchored. Next day sailed to Camden and then to Rockland Harbor, stayed overnight. Next day I sailed to Carver Cove, Vinalhaven Island, via Fox Island Thorofare. Next Morning rowed to North Haven, bought a bag of cherries. Then I sailed to Bass Harbor, Mount Desert Island, via Deer Island Thorofare and Casco Passage. Next day I sailed to the head of Somes Sound, then spent the night at Northeast Harbor. Next day I sailed to Blue Hill, took some pictures of the boat with the boom tent up. Next morning I sailed to Bucks Harbor via Eggemoggin Reach. Finally I sailed back to Belfast on the eighth day.

So that was 150 miles in an open boat, compass, chart and lead all the way, rowing in the calms, cooking aboard. It ain't much, but the most fun I've had in years.
