July 11th We left around 10:00 to catch the ebbing tide. It was a gorgeous day with 5- 10 out of the NW. We had a very nice sail, sailing up to the Goslings to have a look. We then sailed down the passage through a sea of lobster buoys. At least it adds a bit of color as every one has a different color scheme. We sailed down past Little Birch Island and around into Potts Harbor where we tied up to a mooring at the Dolphins. There is not much to see and do off the boat here but it is a beautiful spot. We went to the Dolphin Restaurant which is famous for its fish chowder and blueberry muffins. Of course we didn't have the chowder ( next time).
    It was a very quiet night until around 5:00 or so when every fishing boat in Maine went by right along side our boat. It was quite rocking and rolling until around 7 when they had all left and it was quiet again.

July 12th- It was flat calm seas this morning as we motored out past some very rugged coast line and a couple of beautiful islands. Once we got out past most of the rocks and hazards we put up the sails and broad reached to the mouth of the New Meadow River. Now the wind just pushed us up the river until it became too narrow and hazard filled. We motored to a narrow cut in the shore and down a river like passage for about a 1/4 mile. This inlet was filled with lobster buoys and had a good current fortunately it was favorable for us and after a bunch of twists and turns shot us out into this large pool. It is about the size of Converse Bay and just lined with rocks and trees. We anchored in about 15 feet of water at mid tide.  A CD 36 came in right after us and went over and talked to them.
    It was a very quiet night and it was a beautiful morning as the water was like a mirror.

July13th- We left about 7:30 in order to catch the tide not only here but to have the right tide at our destination. There was very little wind and we just ended up motoring the 25 miles. I tried sailing around Sequin Island but to no avail. We motored up the Sheepscot River which is very pretty in a typical Maine way. Everything is a little more interesting looking at low tide as there are more rocks exposed. I was going to take one of the smaller channels but with the low tide it looked barely wide enough to fit the boat.
    We pulled into Riggs Cove and Robinhood Marine. This is the adopted home of Cape Dory. There are quite a few here of every size. There's not much to do here as the marina is isolated but there are plenty of CD's around to admire.
