Last night we took a zodiac over to our friend’s island to spend the night. The zodiac nearly ran out of power (it’s electric!) and the pontoons leak, but we made it after a minor rescue mission was launched.

The rest of the trip was spent swimming in the bay, grilling, stargazing and walking along sandbars at low tide. Perfection!

In Portland, you can get foie gras from a food cart.

Over the past two days we’ve gone through Portland, Maine to arrive in Portland, Oregon via Boston. We first came to Portland (Oregon) a year and a half ago and it’s great to be back. We had a soak in our hotel’s 100-degree saltwater soaking pool before heading out to drinks and dinner. We returned to our favorites, Clyde Common and the Teardrop Lounge, for cocktails and dined at Little Bird. So much deliciousness. The drinks pictured here are a Smith and Cross tiki drink with absinthe and bitters (on fire!) and a tequila drink with chile threads and maple syrup. I forget the names because I haven’t really slept in 48 hours.

Sail #3: 1 tack out and 1 back. Perfect weather, winds gusting to 25 knots.
