Sunshine and Fair Winds

We awoke at dawn with bright sun shining in the portlights. The grey skies were gone at last and we roused ourselves to take advantage. The water was like glass and the trees so green in the morning sun. Motored down Quahog Bay with the falling tide and hoisted the sails as we headed out to Cape Small. Lots of sails were on the horizon, and we headed over toward Seguin Island. The wind shifted and went slack around noon, so we motored up the Sheepscot to Five Islands Harbor. The yacht club there provides free moorings, and we grabbed one right off the Five Islands Lobster Company. Later we went ashore for a fresh lobster supper on their deck overlooking the harbor. Quite picturesque!
