I'm leaving Thursday planning to do my usual marathon legs so as to get down
to Eastport and see the last small section of the Maine coast I haven't seen
yet by water. I sure hope this pattern breaks soon.

Be sure and spend a day or two anchored off the beach at Roque Island,
entering via the Thorofare on the SW side of the cove. The chart
shows a rock in the middle of the channel but there is wide consensus
that it does not exist. We carried our 5 1/2 feet over it at close to
low tide with no problems, and no sign of a rock on the depth sounder.
