Vinalhaven, ME to Belfast, ME

Thursday, August 13, 2026

Departure: Little Hen Island – Seal Bay (Vinalhaven, ME) (N44°05.536′ W68°48.038′) 8:30AM

Special Comments:

• Absolutely gorgeous morning. Water was still, birds flying, and the best water reflection of land that I have seen, even included clouds.
• So disappointed to lift anchor today. One of our favorite anchorage spots.
• OMG, how I’m truly enjoying using the portable DeWalt cleaner. Jacques claims it’s sexy, I reckon that’s the same sexiness I see when he vacuums (LOL).
• Well, no sooner did I finish cleaning the anchor and securing it did we exit Seal Bay anchorage area. When we start going around in circles, I’m asking Jacques what’s he’s doing as were surrounded by pots and rocks. He’s yelling, I have no control. While in semi-auto pilot the compass was going crazy. Suspecting we must have crossed over something copperish causing this. Fortunately, he was able to manually regain control. How ironic, as I had just shared while sipping our morning coffee, that we finally have a grove whether anchoring, docking, and/or mooring.

Arrival: Belfast Marina (Belfast, ME) (Monday, 8/17/26)

Next Stop: Port Clyde Harbor Anchorage (St George, ME)
