Here you see the fog lifting off Great Cove early this morning. Few are stirring on the sailboats that raced in the annual Eggemoggin Reach Regatta yesterday, but a breakfasting deer can be seen by those with keen eyesight:
The boats in that 15-mile race yesterday encountered heavy haze and difficult (sometimes nonexistent) winds. The air often was light near the finish line at the Cove entrance, where some boats had to tack across.
The Schooner Tree of Life came into the Cove before the finish to allow her passengers to see the end of the race:
The prestigious Regatta has been run for wooden boats since 1985 and has been cancelled only once by fog. (Nonetheless, the after-race party was held then.) The Regatta is sponsored by the Brooklin Boat Yard and Rockport Marine boat builders and the after-race party takes place at the WoodenBoat School campus, overlooking the Cove. (Brooklin, Maine)
