I made it out two weekends ago and overnighted in Home Harbor. It is a little place off the islands to the south of Rockland. It is a rolly anchorage as it is only protected on 3 sides and some waves make there way in. It is a pretty spot, with a few houses on the islands around. I made a few loops to check out the anchorage when I came in to look for low spots or boulders. It looked OK on the depth sounder, but when I woke up in the AM the low tide was showing a few rocks about 15 feet off my stern. My new anchor held fine. The fog came in and I could only see about 30 feet for most of the morning, so I waited until the fog lifter at about noon to head back to port. It was a nice outing.

The following weekend my parents came to Rockland. It was lobster fest so we had some nice meals and sailed over to Northhaven. It was a great day and the wind was perfect to have the parents on the boat. (Not too wild, but not too slow)
