As a target for the end of the day, Richmond Island, just south of
Cape Elizabeth is better: there are easy anchorages on both sides of
the breakwater, so its a good refuge in both NE and SW blows, and
there are no major hazards getting in or leaving. And, if I'm not
mistaken, our Roger Long is the Harbormaster.


Yup. That's me.

It's a great spot if you want to anchor out of the way and close to
the straight lines between everywhere else. Richmond Island is
beautiful and undeveloped except for a sheep farm but it is a long,
long, row and walk to get anything on shore. This is not a place to
stop for supplies.

Watch for the extensive ledges as you round the eastern side of the
island into Seal Cove. I've seen a few boats up there.

No need to call the Harbormaster to anchor. They don't give me a boat
so I don't do any patrolling or on the water supervision.
