Since today was going to be a short day, and there was a nice breeze, we headed south, upwind, with the board down for some sailing. We were in fog not long after leaving Burnt Coat Harbor. When to tack was mostly governed by an approaching cluster of lobster pot floats that we didn't want to duck and couldn't sail above. About 3 miles out, we turned and headed back the way we came doing 6.5 knots in the fog on a reach. We saw another shark just about the time we turned around. We sailed by Burnt Coat Harbor entrance and around the west side of Swans Island.
At the NW end of Swans Island, we rounded Buckle Island and anchored in Buckle Harbor between Buckle Island and Swans Island. This was our first night in Maine with no residences on shore and no lobster boats around. I took the SUP ashore to explore Buckle Island and found a few dilapidated fairy houses and a door hung between two trees on the path.
