A fabulous sail today! We ghosted down the coast in pouring rain, with the main out and poled out genoa: the goosewing! The rain flattened the chop, but there was a gentle swell behind us and we had the boat surging down the waves and maintaining a good 7 knots for much of the day. Only snagged one lobster pot, but got the damn thing off. I won't miss them when we leave Maine.
Max and I both have great foul weather gear. It makes a huge difference. We can hang out in the rain and enjoy its beauty quite comfortably, and there's usually nobody else out.
The forecast is for an angry storm tonight. I've found a little cove for us to hole up in down a tiny estuary. We need to go under a swing bridge and stop all the traffic. I love that! This is the sleepiest little stream, but the swing bridge is managed by three brothers 24 hours a day!
Max has a fierce sparkle in his eye: I think he wants a dark & stormy.
