Presque Isle Bay Sailing - August 22, 2006

This past weekend we were hoping to sail to Port Dover, but the rain was too intense. Jack, Bob, Jim and I sailed through the rain, but stayed in the bay and soon anchored in Marina Lake for lunch. We spoke via radio with a visiting ketch, but without the dinghy (we left it at the dock) we were unable to visit. Later we sailed to Smuggler’s Wharf for dinner, then back to Bay Harbor Marina for the night.

Our good old Boy Scout Trail Tarp covered the cockpit so despite the rain overnight, we were cool and comfortable AND DRY! :-) On Sunday morning we sailed around the bay, avoiding the morning EYC race boats, then ended up back at anchor for another great lunch provided by Bob. We were so tired from sailing and eating that a nap was called for. Eventually we had a lazy trip back to the dock and went to Joe Roots for dinner. A lazy weekend, but still fun and we sailed about 21 miles up & down the bay.
