Log16 Aug 5 - Sailing south to Merchant's Island
Upon leaving Southwest Harbor, we headed south to get into position for our trip back home. We sailed south out of the harbor and turned right under Deer Isle, then turning slightly northwest to merge into Merchants Row and toward Merchant's Island.
We anchored in the little cover on the NE side of Merchant's Island. We were alone until a boat the left Southwest at the same time came in and anchored near us.
This is a good anchorage with good protection but it is not very big. With a few private moorings, the swinging room is tight.
