With Hurricane Henri barreling up the east coast we decided not to take any chances, nixed our plans to explore Casco Bay, and beelined it north, sailing our Seawind 1600 catamaran first to Tenants Harbor, then to a protected mooring in Vinalhaven.

We’ve been dreaming of sailing in Maine for twenty years and it is finally becoming a reality. This week we’re sailing our #Seawind1600 catamaran from Gloucester, Massachusetts to the entrance of the Saco River in Maine. And what a sail it was, the most epic sail we’ve had to date going wing on wing downwind with the spinnaker and main!

This week we’re leaving Newport, destination Maine coast. Our autopilot isn’t working so we’re sailing our catamaran old school the entire way. First stop Hadley Harbor at the beginning of Cape Cod. Then on to Provincetown via the Cape Cod canal, where we explore this gem of a town and have our first encounter with gray seals, a favorite snack for the famed great white shark.
