Northstar Voyager
Spotted this vessel northbound on the North River outside our window yesterday. I checked it on Marinetraffic.com and found my way to Northstar Marine and this story of its acquisition for east coast offshore wind power work.

Why did it sink?
Bayesian was a massive sailing yacht with one of the tallest masts in yachting history, a 246-foot pole that would have commanded attention even if it hadn’t been illuminated at a peaceful anchorage just north of Sicily on Sunday night.
Mike Lynch, the owner, a British tech billionaire who had been compared to both Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, was onboard, celebrating his acquittal on fraud charges that could have sent him to prison for 20 years. He was joined by members of his family, two of the lawyers who defended him, and an investment banker who had provided helpful testimony.

Hatchet Cove - my homeport
The memorial cross at Georges Harbor
five miles south of my mooring at Hatchet Cove, Friendship,
Maine
When we first came to Friendship thirty years ago, this was Brian Reed's wharf. It's the Carter family's now.
The Reeds and the Carters had fishing camps on Benner Island about five miles south.
Betsy Wyeth then bought two islands - Allen and Benner - of the four that make up Georges Harbor where English explorer George Waymouth first landed on the coast of Maine in 1605. In 1905 the State of Maine erected a granite cross on Allen and claimed it as the founding of Maine.
The Carters swung a deal with Betsy Wyeth who had a big wharf built on Allen Island and a house for her family on the south side of Benner. The Carters still have traps stored there. They are buyers as well as fishermen now. Below are shots of Carter's wharf at Hatchet Cove, Friendship now.
