Wednesday, August 13, 2008 BoothBay Maine

We are having the bottom of our boat checked by one of the local divers. He is replacing the zinc bars on the propeller shaft etc and he noted the bottom does not have much barnacles and marine growth. We had been at anchor at a small harbor east of here during the past few rainy days and then came back to Boothbay Harbor to have the bottom checked (routine). It is a beautiful sunny day-at last!!!

This bird hitched a ride for a few hours when we came north from Cape Cod to Boothbay. He practiced landing several times before finally dropping on the bow pulpit.

We just can't resist taking pictures of these outstanding sunsets. This was taken while traveling from Provincetown, Ma. to Maine. The sky was a brilliant red and then rain clouds marched over the horizon with "bursts" of rain falling in the distance. We were ahead of the rain showers but the wind gusts picked up the waves making it a very bumpy ride since we were head into the wind.

One of the lighthouses that are seen on the many islands that are dotted along the Maine coast. This one is not far from Boothbay Harbor.
