Bar Harbor, Maine 28 July 2007

Hi Everyone!

We did not realize how long it has been since we have had Internet access. We have been anchored in several different harbors over the last few days and in this part of the country there is very very limited service for our cell connections.


We traveled from Rockland, ME to Castine, Me and stayed in a well protected cove called Smith Cove. The fog came rolling in and we stayed for a couple of days. We then moved on to Mt. Desert Island and upon arriving went into the Somes Sound, a beautiful fjord in the heart of the island and are anchored in Somes Harbor by Somesville.

We are using a great free bus service and our location puts us in the middle between Bar Harbor on the east end and Southwest Harbor on the west end and we are taking advantage of access to both towns.

There is a weather system coming in with two cold fronts along with southerly winds, that always bring dense fog. As usual we will wait out the weather and then start heading west. We plan to be back to Booth Bay by next weekend. We are enjoying the beautiful Maine coastline and the pristine waters. We have seen porpoise and a few seals occasionally pop their heads up for a "look-around."

We dropped by the Bar Harbor public library to get something on the blog and well try to get into one of the towns we have access to with our laptop in the next couple of days to post some photos.
