Log of s/v Bellerophon

Steve suggested that we locate and mark PC40 before setting sail for the Kicky, so at 5 bells in the forenoon watch watch we raised anchor and surveyed the inner cove. Steve's suggestion turned out to be quite fortuitous. We raised the sails and headed for Hog Island Shoals. About a half-mile off of Popasquash Pt a squall came through with gusts estimated at 35-40kts and heavy chop out of the northwest. We dropped the sails, turned tail, and headed back for Potter Cove. This time instead of anchoring we picked up Sea Hawk's mooring and settled in for an early cocktail hour.
