Getting underway on a sailing vacation can take longer than you might think. We are learning that sailors need to be patient.
To start it off we arrived Sunday evening, walked our bags down to the dock to find our mooring empty and boat gone. Turns out they were still completing repairs and upgrades we had requested.
Monday we spent the day flushing and filling water tanks, registering the boat, putting the registration numbers on, watching Mike put the new name lettering on "Astraea" and helping setup the new chain locker, hawse pipe and anchor roller. It was totally socked in fog this day so we weren't missing any good sailing. You can see the white anchor line piled up in the opening at the bow behind Nicole. Tuesday John from Bittersweet Landing fitted a nice cover for the opening so the anchor line won't spill into the V-Berth.
We got going Tuesday around noon and set sail for Tenants Harbor on the western side of Penobscot Bay.
