Maine cruise Day #8

Early morning, no wind, calm seas.   We motored a little closer to Seal rock :)
and then we were off!   We were on our way to Mount Desert Island  - Southwest Harbor .  We hoped to sail, but it looked like it would be just a motor.


oatmeal for breakfast


heading through Eggemoggin reach




we cruised past the Torrey Islands - where some BYC'ers stayed.  We saw The Lippmans on Sand Dollar

and Paul on Grace (the boat we did the summer cruise upon)

The wooden boats were racing again today - from Brooklin to Camden.  We saw them motor to the start (which was delayed due to light winds)

a seal popped up right next to our boat :)

Lots of boats - close to 100 were supposed to race



nice peaceful day on the water


more porpoises came out to play


wind finally picked up, but we were close to our destination


Southwest Harbor!

we went ashore for showers




back on Sea Rose - we watched the harbor traffic
then we took the dinghy to the other side of the harbor to meet some BYCers for dinner

seal in the water - you can barely see him



our friends were running late, so we took a short walk around



dinner time!



I had a salad, but our friends had Lobster.  Poor little guys.

beautiful sunset




a couple porpoises came out for a bit as the sun sank



Last night on the boat!
