3 weeks, that's the best plan.
In Response To: Time has a way of doing that. When you're ready to move on ()
Even though we plan two weeks when we go below the CCC and back, I've never done it in less than a couple extra days(self employment gives some options). Next time we go, I'd like to explore more of the coast between on the way back. I'll try to plan 3 weeks so we can enjoy that as well.
I'm still sold on an overnight one way or the other, I like that aspect of the trip, it's one of the draws for me. Hope you can put it together Larry, you'll enjoy it immensely.

- Maine for the first-timer?
- I'm convinced the best approach is to sail overnight to Penobscot Bay.
- A bit on southern Maine
- Pen Bay/MDI area
- Different strokes...
- All the detours are off the straightline unfortunately.
- Yeah but we try not to push the miles
- MDI is about 180 miles from the northeast end of the cape cod canal...
- Then I'd change your plan, "a 10 or 12-day "window" to travel to Maine and back"
- If the stars align we could make it from CCC to MDI in two days without pushing
- That's half the fun of being on a schedule. I get a little bored waiting for weather.

- If I had two crew and a weather window
- I hear you. I don't even try to sleep.
- The traps are thick here too

- Then, conceptually, Larry

- I would jump across to MDI and then work your way south from there
- Agree with Todd.
- I've found that the start SW Harbour and move east, then south make sense.
- unfortunately, your schedule is dictating your route
