September 27, 2009 - Freeport ME, United States
We sailed north into Maine and stopped at the Isle of Shoals. We visited Smuttynose Island in the evening and had a nice walk and met the slightly mad volunteer ranger.

We also met his goats

Next door was Star Island, a Unitarian Retreat.

We knew we were in Maine as the sea was thick with lobster pot markers.

The main sail was on its last legs, but luckily there was a new one on its way.

The day we finally found the sail was very exciting and Mr Crispy, as the sail in now known, is greatly appreciated.
New main sail
Barney did get a little carried away by the moment.
Appreciating the new sail
The island was called 'Pound of Tea' I can only assume it was cheap.
