We Got To Experience Maine Fog

The rain moved in overnight....the first rain that we had seen since we got there. We were socked in by fog in Valley Cove in the morning, painting the classic Maine landscape.

In early afternoon, the fog cleared, we pulled anchor and continued our journey to Southwest Harbor. The wind was blowing pretty good so we grabbed a mooring pendant in the harbor. Jeff and Malia had now been on their journey for over a month, and it was laundry day. Sheila and I rowed to shore and hiked to town, and made our way in the Upper Deck Bar and Restaurant for drinks and lunch, while Jeff and Malia carried their 100 pounds of laundry the 2-1/2 miles to the laundromat. I think Sheila and I had the better day!

We regrouped at the Upper Deck later in the afternoon for happy hour, then caught the Island Express bus (with the laundry) back to where the dingy awaited. We took the opportunity to buy lobsters right off the boats loading them into a truck on the dock. So, the lobsters got to join the laundry on the dingy ride back to Athena.

The wind had increased to around 20 knots (in our face) while we rowed back to the mooring. We got our workouts in today!

But, we quickly forgot about the pain once the wine and incredible lobster dinner (by Chef Malia) kicked in.
