London Goes To Sea: Buzzards Bay
http://londongoestosea.blogspot.com/2007/09/pocasset-buzzards-bay-ma-off-pocasset.html
Thursday, September 6, 2007. Pocasset, Buzzards Bay, MA (Off Pocasset River). There was a French boat in the canal, sailing wing-on-wing until the patrol showed up. The boat looked custom, Trintella shaped, with a hull like a dark and a spectacular rigged dart. He entered the canal ahead of me after a beautiful show of sailing along the curve of the beach.

London Goes To Sea: On To Duck Harbor, Isle Au Haut
http://londongoestosea.blogspot.com/2007/08/on-to-duck-harbor-isle-au-haut.html
Tuesday, August 28, 2007. On To Duck Harbor, Isle Au Haut. Monday. 27 August. At mid-afternoon we stopped at Vinelhaven's Cutter's Harbor for ice and provisons. I. On our quiet sail across Penobscot Bay I noticed the sounds underway. The clanging of a bell buoy, the orgasmic squawks of sea gulls, the sounds of the rigging stretching and squeaking - the rustle of the water on the hull. Enjoying this much, thank you, and the photos. Superb. July 19, 2009 at 2:17 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

London Goes To Sea: from Chapter 11 of "London Goes To Sea"
http://londongoestosea.blogspot.com/2007/03/from-chapter-11.html
Friday, March 2, 2007. From Chapter 11 of "London Goes To Sea". Sailing with the Dictionary of Allusions. After twelve years of careful cruising, I am ready. This morning I will finally join that most exalted club of keel scrapers. I knew my time, my initiation, would come. It comes to us all. An unexpected grinding sound, a sudden lift, and you are in the club. There are only three kinds of skippers: Those who have run aground, those who will run aground, and those that have but won't admit it. This bri...

London Goes To Sea: Wooden Boat
http://londongoestosea.blogspot.com/2007/08/wooden-boat.html
Friday, August 31, 2007. Thursday, Wooden Boat, Brooklin, Maine. The moorings in Northeast harbor are still only $20 a night. In Maine we have found when we wanted to moor the price has been between $15 and $20 - much less than we often encounter in Southern New England. But there has been a lack of showers. There is always some uncertainly in entering a new harbor in your boat. Will the place be friendly to a visiting sailboat or too busy with fishing or other commercial activity to help? Bringing a sai...

London Goes To Sea: Cundy’s Harbor
http://londongoestosea.blogspot.com/2007/08/cundys-harbor.html
Sunday, August 19, 2007. There are waves under my mattress. I swear. Like the broad back of a relentless sea serpent, it sways and undulates beneath me. Four days from Fairhaven, MA to Cundy’s Harbor, Maine. It could have been three but I slacked off after having Cape Elizabeth in sight, and being suddenly ahead of schedule. The morning after the storm, Biddeford pool looked like this. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). IPhone Android iPad Game. Become A Memory Ace! London Goes To Sea. To Isle Au haut.

London Goes To Sea: Tenants Harbor, Potts Harbor
http://londongoestosea.blogspot.com/2007/09/tenants-harbor-potts-harbor.html
Sunday, September 2, 2007. Tenants Harbor, Potts Harbor. Friday - Tenants Harbor, Maine. As we were about 5 days ago, we are again stuck under a stalled cold front. The forecast now says it will clear early in the AM and tomorrow will be very windy. She'd looked at me and asked, "How are you going to do that? Saturday - Potts Harbor, Maine.

London Goes To Sea: Biddeford Pool
http://londongoestosea.blogspot.com/2007/09/biddeford-pool.html
Monday, September 3, 2007. Biddeford Pool Maine: Drift and Rhythm. In the evening when everyone was out for the sunset I met the neighbors. A couple in a 28 Cape Dory just to my lee from York, ME. Their boat is same age as London - 30. I got some good pictures of a group racing by in a dinghy and on their third pass they yelled over an email address for me to send them to.

London Goes To Sea: Bigelow Bight
http://londongoestosea.blogspot.com/2007/08/bigelow-bight.html
Thursday, August 16, 2007. As I pulled into Rockport's Sandy Bay to anchor a guy yelled over from a boat which came in to anchor right behind me. 8220;I read your book! I loved it. Especially the part about the… Maybe we can get togther later.”. Jim’s boat is also a Cape Dory 27, with a radar mounted like mine on the pole at the stern. But there the similarities end. His boat has a wheel, cushions in the cockpit and a teak floor in the cabin! My floor is white fiberglass. A small brown bird has landed in...

London Goes To Sea: Northeast Harbor
http://londongoestosea.blogspot.com/2007/08/northeast-harbor.html
Thursday, August 30, 2007. How a book could remain hidden in a 27 foot boat for 4 days remains a mystery. We spent a comfortable night at Burnt Coat Harbor on Swan Island last night and in the morning, after the fishing fleet had departed, we stopped for fuel and water at the Lobster Co-op. Both us rowed around the harbor to look at the schooners more closely. The Victory Chimes, Grace Bailey, Lewis E French, and Timberwinds were all in the harbor. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

London Goes To Sea: Burnt Coat Harbor
http://londongoestosea.blogspot.com/2007/08/burnt-coat-harbor.html
Wednesday, August 29, 2007. Tuesday August 28,2007. Duck Harbor, Isle Au Haut. After walking along the coast for 15 minutes to the west we found the dirt road and followed it back to the harbor. Handling the dinghy lines and even getting into the dinghy revealed just how sore my hand was, but Fifield made an icepack, I took some Advil and an hour later the swelling had gone down and I was at the tiller again.
