A great, lazy vacation type morning was had by all. It was nice to have a big breakfast of eggs, bacon and potatoes that we procured in Port Clyde. Kurt and Mads went rowing in the Whitehall all around Maple Juice Cove and checked out the surroundings. I just stayed aboard and read a magazine in between swatting at flies. In the early afternoon the wind began to pipe up, so we decided to just go sailing upriver to continue figuring out the boat. Going upriver was downwind, so we did a bunch of controlled jibes which went well. Then we started heading downriver to tack a bunch. The wind was probably about 15 knots, perfect for trying stuff out. We got the same impression as the day before...what a great sailing boat!! Later on, we anchored out behind a tiny island in Otis cove. Very nice spot, but we were hanging strangely on the anchor due to the current and wind. Kurt then tried to light the kerosene oven to cook a whole chicken....and after a few flames threatened our floating home (and discovering some leaky connections) he wisely decided to cook on the Magma again. Dinner was a slightly charred (yet perfectly cooked inside) chicken. Doesn’t seem to matter what’s for dinner aboard, it always seems good. Especially when I don’t have to cook it. Cathy
