Southwest Harbor, Maine, and a new experience for Wind Horse. Having now covered close to 60,000 miles, this is her first acquaintance with a mooring ball.

The boat is back in working order. We filled up the fuel tank and we are ready to cruise tomorrow morning. One unusual thing about this harbor is that they do not take credit cards. They did take our out of state check, however. …
