South Portland, ME to Harpswell, ME

Wednesday, July 15, 2026

Departure: South Port Marine (South Portland, ME) Slip A62 11:30AM

Special Comments:

• The orange color of the sun reflects the Canadian wildfires from last evening.
• Observed a group of photographers board a transient vessel to our starboard early this morning. Curious Jacques, had to inquire about presuming dolphin sightings. Nope, crew for a T-Mobile commercial (LOL).
• A blue container drum floated by us. Known to float in from commercial vessels from Portland, ME.
• Heard a sonic plane fly overhead gone before I could capture a photo. Gosh, their loud and fast.
• Topping fuel before area departure, South Port Marine (South Portland, ME). Known to have some of the best prices in the area. No applicable discounts during peak season, $4.58/gal x 500 gal = $2,290.
• Swingin’ on the ball, clocked 17KN/+ winds. At times gusts has us leaning to port. YIKES!
• While Jacques was napping I noticed the port side mooring ball moving within 2′ of the hull, Jacques later saw 4′. He hailed the dock staff who quickly came out and drag the mooring ball. Eventually, it found it’s way back towards us. Surprisingly, one of the owners came and attempted to drag it as well, but that didn’t work so he offered to move us.

Arrival: Dolphin Marina & Restaurant – Mooring Ball #13 (Harpswell, ME) 1:30PM
