As noted in the previous post, the plan was to move the boat over the Labor Day weekend to NH for haul out on Tuesday. Fortunately the weather cooperated and we were able to move the boat on Saturday.
And as you can see the trip is mostly in open ocean. So it really needs to be a calm day since the distance is nearly 88 miles and I am not inclined to spend over 7 hours feeling like being inside a washing machine.
And you can see that it is calm at least in Robinhood bay as we start out about 5:45 am
A hint of fog is looking to move out soon - I am really OK with that.
Here we are rounding the peninsula point which is where Reid State Park is located
Seguin Island is a very beautiful and majestic island. It has long been an important location for the lighthouse seen located at the peak of the island.
Passing Small Point, and with the wind coming from the NW, the wind will be coming at us once we pass the point. Which I expect and hope will be moderate.
Here we are passing the entrance buoy for Portland Harbor. And you can see that the seas are indeed light and the sun has decided to dominate the day.
After about 7 hours we are entering the Piscataqua River
And this is the old life saving station that has been restored over the last ten years.
And Portsmouth Naval Ship Yard - located in Kittery - long term bone of contention between Maine and New Hampshire.
And we are pleased to have been given a spot on the dock.
And after the trip we need to drive back to Maine to pick up the car we left there.
I always like to walk down to the dock and slip and look one last time until next year.
So as the sun is setting on the end of the 2025 season I will say ...........
Good Night and May God Bless
