Inside, students of all ages are working on their boatbuilding projects. Some are working on canoes and kayaks while others are working on daysailers. Instructors hover nearby to offer advice to the students.
Today we enjoy a delightful sail 19 miles east to Isleford Harbor at Little Cranberry Island. With 12 knot winds from the southwest on her beam, Cutter Loose reaches comfortably across Jericho Bay, through the well-marked channel of Casco Passage and into Blue Hill Bay. Once past the safe water markers at Bass Head Light, our course takes us north into Western Way. This route is familiar to us since we sailed these waters 10 days ago en route to Somes Sound and Northeast Harbor. But today, we elect to anchor in Islesford Harbor as a staging area for our eventual return to Northeast Harbor.
As if on cue, a thick blanket of fog covers the harbor within an hour of our arrival. The forecast is for unsettled weather during the next few days.
