Cruising the coast of Maine this summer
Posted: Mon Dec 13, 2010 3:21 pm
Hi All,
It's been a little while and I hope everyone is well. Denise and I are heading up to Newport, RI from Williamsburg, VA with some of our yacht club friends in late June 2011. After some quality time in Newport and the islands those guys will head back to VA and we will sail up the Cape Cod canal and make the overnight jump fom the Sandwich marina to the mudhole on Great Wass island. After a few days hiking and relaxing we will make the final jump around Quoddy head to the anchorage in Lubec. Once there we will spend a month slowly working our way back down the coast to Portland, ME before making the offshore run back to Williamsburg, VA. sometime in the first or second week of August.
This is very similar to the trip we did in 2008 ( 2007? ) that is detailed on this forum. Like before, we're using Maptech charts, a Garmin 3210 chartplotter with current charts, and "A cruising guide to the Maine coast". Anybody know of any other cruising guides, or any other planning suggestions? I'm not sure how much has changed up there from last time. We are looking forward to seeing some of the other Plastic Classic forum members as we work down the coast.
Happy Holidays!
George
