August 3rd - Rockland, Maine
 |
| Rockland breakwater |
Rockland was a terrific town for landfall: the town dock gave us a place to tie up Jarana for half a day, showers, nearby good provisioning, etc. On Wed, Aug 5th, we had a pleasant sunny (not foggy) passage via Owl Channel to Dix Island for the start of the CCA Maine Cruse.

Dix Island is shared by several families the low impact, simple and sustainable cottages. It's a former granite quarry, and there are still some sculpted capitals and blocks strewn about. At the opening BBQ, we got acquainted with many friendly local CCA members and had a great time. And Commodore Tad Lahmon and Joyce were there on Lyric who brought our mail along.

| North Haven | |
Among cruise stops were: North Haven, Seal Harbor, Vinalhaven, Cradle Cove, Long Harbor, Hurricane Island and Billings Cove (Deer Isle). The weather was mostly clear and sunny, with little fog.

What a great introduction to Maine!
