Penobscot bay
Loved your blog on the Bay. I have a few boating friends in the area. One couple, Gene and Kathy, live in Castine and he use to work at the marine school there. Van and I visited them in the house in Maine as well as in Vero Beach. They had a boat named Northern Cross. Have not heard from them in awhile and do not know if they still are boating. The other couple lives in Camden and we had visited with them also. They live within walking distance of the harbor. They have a small lobster boat which he built and the name of it is Spike. He also captains the schooner that takes folks out on a tour of the harbor.Camden is a lovely place. I went there myself one year and stayed above a little bakery run by a religious group. It overlooked the harbor. Friends there are Lynette and Bob Walthers. They had a sailboat named Patience and now have a trawler at their other home in East Palatka on the St John's river. Lovely place there too. Ruth and I stopped there for a short visit on our way south last year. They have lots of orange and grapefruit trees and shared them with us. Has it been very hot in Maine? Very hot here the past few days. Not fun having to work at the carousel in this heat. It was 95 in there yesterday. I have to work there again tonight. Another scorcher today. I prefer the cooler weather. 70 is nice. Ruth and I going to Va at the beginnig of Sept. It is coming soon. Have to pick up my trip tik at AAA today. Babysitting my 5 yr old great grandson this week. He starts kindergarten this year. Another granddaughter had a little boy on Aug 5. Family keeps on growing. Soon we will need a hall for get togethers. Have a great and safe trip south. And stay away from the hurricanes. I heard they are brutal to be in. Love to both Jeanne
