Day 13 – Jonesport to Roque Island

Day 13 – Jonesport to Roque Island

We rowed The Dingy to shore and filled up all three gas cans again; we had emptied them into the main tank earlier.

Day 14 – Roque Island to Cutler

It was raining lightly when we lifted the anchor out of the sandy bottom of Roque Island Harbor. I wasted no time in donning my waterproof jacket and pants.

Day 18 – Eastport to Campobello Island

Day 18 – Eastport to Campobello Island

Shortly after we rose we headed into the shipyard to pay for the second night on their morning, $16.15. Winds were light in Deep Cove but soon strengthened and made for a quick sail across to Campobello Island. The skies were blue, the bay smooth, and the sailing excellent. We headed to the breakwater in …
