\"Smith<\/p>\n

Yesterday was supposed to be a quiet day, one in which we could regain our equilibrium, which had been overwhelmed by the previous evening’s sunset. The day started off well enough.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Smith<\/p>\n

A local out for an early row.<\/p>\n

\"Smith<\/p>\n

A few early overhead passes on which to practice. Even a lone eagle, too far away to photograph against the dark foliage.<\/p>\n

\"Smith<\/p>\n

A couple of hardy souls were out for a swim.<\/p>\n

\"Smith<\/p>\n

And in the distance, the village of Castine.<\/p>\n

\"Smith<\/p>\n

Nearby there is a staircase leading into the forbidden forest.<\/p>\n

\"Smith<\/p>\n

And the occasional kayakers who, after stopping by for a chat, went on about their business.<\/p>\n

\"Smith<\/p>\n

There is even a Sundeer 64 cutter a little ways off.<\/p>\n

\"Smith<\/p>\n

The excitement started late in the afternoon as the Stephen Tabor sailed down the harbor, did a Hudson River flying jibe, and reached across to anchor nearby (we’ll have a detailed post on this later).<\/p>\n

\"Smith<\/p>\n

We were soon joined by American Eagle.<\/p>\n

\"Smith<\/p>\n

The sunset was less dramatic than the previous evening. And after a quiet supper we retired early, snuggled under our heaviest blankets – it is fall in Maine after all.<\/p>\n

\"Smith<\/p>\n

A quick look on deck in the early AM got our attention with a clear sky a detailed moon,<\/p>\n

\"Smith<\/p>\n

and an array of stars.<\/p>\n

\"Smith<\/p>\n

Our neighbors are outlined against the horizon.<\/p>\n

\"Smith<\/p>\n

And we abandon our plans of the previous evening. So much for that long night in bed.<\/p>\n

We’ve just been apprised of a get together for the Windjammers in nearby Brooklyn. This is too good an opportunity to miss with a northerly blowing. Boat chores will await another day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
