Hurricane Island is not a great place to anchor (very rolly), so we continued on to an anchorage in a cluster of islands with decent wind protection. We’ve passed by this anchorage twice on our way to Rockland, and this was our chance to finally stop. The holding was OK for the anchor (several boats dragged and had to reset multiple times), and we had a really fun social hour on a beach on Birch Island. At the end of that, we had the crews of Saphir and Looma IV over to our boat for a third night of cocktails, and watched one of the best sunsets of the summer. Mads had brought Cuban rum and cigars – what a way to enjoy the sunset……
There are hiking trails on the islands (which are all privately owned), but we felt a little bit of wind the next morning and opted to leave earlier to try and get some sailing in.
