when you are on the water, the points on land that you go around always has a light house, again another one immaculate
the other thing that you see is boats of all shapes and sizes
under our first bridge of the year .. and for sure there is many many more to come … in this area there were no lobster pots … what a change
one of our first Black and White light houses
our day trip 7 1/4 hours 41km to total this year we have sail/motored 586.7 km
we head into Rockport, Maine .. it is known for its Lime Kilns, it was great to see roofs to help preserve them
we took a quick walk to some lobster fishermen unloading their days catch, but was 1/2 hour late, it was all weighed and ready to ship … so we do the next best thing … find the fish store
some views along the way
we took a dock here for $30/night … we could of anchored, but the deck was turning black from the salt and we just could not stand it any more
Joe quickly got to work at scrubbing and cleaning with fresh water
Andre the Seal is there mascot, we have noticed that the seals are getting bigger as we travel south, and they are not as timid as the northern smaller seals
we bought soft shell lobster at the fish market for $6.50/lb … the hard shell ones were twice the price …after we removed the elastic bands before cooking, this guy jumped right out of the steaming pot and into the sink ..ha ha
all cooked, the soft shell lobster are more watery, now we know why they were half the price .. but they were good any way
the harbour
we met this couple from Florida … this is their vacation home, they travel around the U.S. and stay at harbours. They say they can stay free and used the washrooms and showers. Smart idea
Joe phoned in this time to Customs to advise of our location, this officer did not ask questions, she just said is this Modaki, (yes), you have 2 people on board (yes), you are Joe Watson (yes), okay we have you on file ,, have a good day !!! What the guy I have a few ports earlier was so grumpy and sharp with his words … oh well
