My friend Tiny ( WWII veteran of the 10th Mountain
Division) and I took the Windchaser out for an October sail. The weather was warm and initially without wind. We motored under sailed to Eagle Island and then past Jewel Island where a couple of cruising sailboats anchored in the bay while their captain and crew were off hiking the island and on to Portland. After a tour of Portland harbor we headed back only to realize that time was short. The marina launch would stop at 4:30 and we only had two hours to make a two and a half hour trip. Fortunately, the wind came up and we motor sailed north making with mooring with 5 minutes to spare or we still might be out there on the mooring.
