Rockland and Pulpit Harbor

Hi everyone,

We stayed in Rockland for three nights.  Weather was foggy and/or rainy.  We used an OCC mooring - thanks James!

Zen Again in Rockland

We spent Friday with Brad and Christine - our OCC friends met in the Azores in 2016.  They live in Maine and drove us to Rockport, Camden and Belfast north of Rockland.  Thanks guys!

Back in Rockland we spent yesterday rewatering, shopping and laundering.  And we met local sailors Ginny and Rob of sv Rhapsody for lunch.  They found us on NoForeignLand.  A thunderstorm came through in the afternoon delivering 40 knot gusts and small hail.

This morning we departed Rockland for Pulpit Harbor.  We didn't judge the weather well and it turned into a damp 10nm motor.  But on arrival we picked up another OCC mooring - thanks Ann & Ernie!

Here are the usual plots...

After arriving in steady rain it gradually ceased and the clouds lifted.  Right now the grey shoreline is gradually filling with colour as the sun comes out.  Looks like it's a pretty place!

Trust all's well where you are!
