The Bahamas to Maine…WE MADE IT!!! (Autopilot problems revealed) | EP47

Our New England to Maine Passage | Cruising Cape Cod Canal, Portland, & Boothbay Harbor Join us aboard our Nordhavn trawler as we make an unforgettable passage from New England to Maine! 🌊⚓ We start our journey transiting the Cape Cod Canal before heading to Gloucester, Massachusetts—a charming fishing town where we anchored in the inner harbor and explored its rich maritime history. From there, we continued north to Portland, Maine, where the amazing team at DiMillo’s Marina welcomed us. Garmin joined us for an exciting sea trial to finally solve our autopilot issues (spoiler: success at last!). Our cruising adventure didn’t stop there. We pushed further along the Maine coastline, discovering peaceful anchorages and making our way to the picturesque Boothbay Harbor. This little town stole our hearts with its fresh seafood, cozy Italian restaurant, and the incredible Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, featuring the stunning giant trolls known as the Guardians of the Seeds.
