The balance of the Portland itinerary remains to be set; there
currently isn't one...

Portland has its attractions as Roger will no doubt point out, but the
serious cruising opportunities are further east in Casco Bay,
Penobscot Bay and Mt Desert Island.

Please have a professional look at that rigging, and think about
getting a tie rod(s) to hold the deck in place. Losing a mast is not
fun - don't ask me how I know that.
