Much cooler today. Light sprinkle of rain, but not enough to get anything really wet.
We took the boat over to the fuel dock. Filled the tank and six diesel cans. Our timing was perfect. Went through the bridge at the nine-o'clock opening and returned at the ten-o'clock opening. We then tied the boat to the end of the dock, facing out. This will make it a lot easier to leave.
I spent the rest of the morning plotting our course to Nantucket. When I started on the course to Maine, I realized we needed more charts, so we went to the Gear Locker and bought a couple. Then we walked over to the Chinese Restaurant for their delicious Grand Buffet. After lunch, I continued plotting the course to Maine and saw that we need a large-scale harbor chart of Portland. The Gear Locker was closed by then, so I'll get it in the morning.
Received a telephone message from Marilyn, saying she'll be bringing chicken salad and blueberry pie. That sounds yummy! The message arrived at exactly the right time, because I was just getting ready to go to the store to get stuff for lunch tomorrow. Got enough for sandwiches and made them when I got back.
Roy obtained some heavy hawser and made bumpers for the sides of the boat out of it.
