What a great day on Penobscot Bay with the Mahogany Salon of Camden, Maine: https://mahoganysalon.net. On July 30, the entire salon took sail for their annual sailing charter on Sagacious. The weather was perfect – one of those rare days where the temperatures were not unlike the Caribbean!
Once we left the harbor and rounded Curtis Island Light we turned north and headed up the bay. A beautiful gentle breeze kicked up just as 3 harbor porpoises played tag off of our stern. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them that close to the boat – it was truly exhilarating to see these animals racing around our wake!
The next stop was a lunch at Warren Island State Park. The entire salon, went for a swim off the boat and even managed to coerce Captain Nancy in. After our refreshing swim, we continued on through Gilkey Harbor to see a ton of seals napping on Minot Ledge. Passing the Ensign Islands we then turned to starboard for a brisk sail at 7.4 knots back to Camden Harbor. Can’t wait to take them out again next year!
Here’s a short video of us under sail!
