Eastern Cove on Maine's Long Island

This beautiful cove was perfect for these conditions, a constant SW wind and pretty settled weather. It is kind of wild and pretty far out to sea. There is a rocky beach, but no settlement on this part of the island. I had to anchor twice, since the first time I ended up right on top of a lobster pot buoy and figured that the lobsterman might not be too happy about that. The night was a little rolly, but the anchor held well.

There was a beautiful sunset - appreciated by the gnarly cap'n.

Dense fog the next morning, but I set sail for Vinalhaven - this is a photo of looking back at Eastern Cove.
