Default Maine Passage - Day 7

Looks like they are diverting to P-town based on the latest SPOT
track. That would be a good plan, get a little rest and put things
back together before heading further north.


No, they are heading direct for Portland and my 4500 granite block mooring.
I've had some email contact with them and they seem good. They're making
some mistakes but generally doing pretty well. I suspect Lyn and Larry
Pardy didn't do a lot better on their first offshore passage.

No email in a while. I advised them to tack earlier today. They then
appear to have gotten a great lift but tacked anyway and are now headed for
France. I'm not sure what is going on at this point. They may be following
some whale sighting reports as that was one of the reasons for this route.

Portland is an easy entrance and it is a long way around into P-town. I
think they are good to continue.
