Heading toward Maine later this summer. I don't think 7.5' will be a
problem there.

One of my joys with cruising my boat since I got her last year, is actually
getting to stop and explore the places I visit. I sail between harbors.
Sometimes that takes a while if there's not much breeze. But in the C&C I
have a superb sailing craft, so I make way in a zephyr. If there's more
breeze than I feel like sailing in, I don't.

Years ago as a charter captain, I would go to many of these places, but my
job was to keep my guests happy, not enjoy the place. Now, as a delivery
skipper, I go places and either pick up or drop off a boat and leave. In
between ports I have an average speed I try to maintain, so if the wind is
too light to give me 5-6 knots, on goes the engine despite the fact that
sailing would be much more enjoyable.

One of these days, when I've grown bored with all the deep harbors, I'll
start to feel restricted by my draft. But so far the novelty hasn't worn
off.
