Pepper was still not great in the morning, so we needed to get him to a vet.  We got an early start and headed for Portland, 35 miles away.  On our way out, we waved goodbye to our new friends on Emilie B.  It was a beautiful, clear, calm sunny day and we had a quick, easy run.  We were in Portland before noon.  On the sailboat it would have taken more than five hours in good conditions.  It took us three and a half.  That’s what 480 horsepower will do for you.

The kids are happy to be back on the Block!  We motored over in light southerlies with an nasty-ish slop that caused some mal-de-mer for at least one of our crew, but that’s all forgotten now that we are happily settled on a mooring and everyone has been ashore to check out the local scene.

We got in after a four-hour and 45-minute run from New England Boatworks.  Grey skies, humid, light southerlies and no rain.  The town moorings were all taken, but both CCA moorings were available so we snagged one and hoisted our burgee to the masthead.  There is lots of room (for now) at the three marinas, and plenty of space to drop a hook in the anchorage (also for now).

Looking forward to relaxing for a few days on “island time”, and watching the Fourth of July madness.
