August was a much better month than June and most of July. Having completed our Downeast trip we have just enjoyed areas around the marina. We even had a humpback whale come for a visit as you will see below.
We have said before that we just like to be on the boat - even at the dock. It is a beautiful place as the photos from the marina attest.
The next several photos are from a dinghy ride down the arm of Riggs Cove.
Another amazing sunset from our slip.
Son Rob and wife Dawn came for a visit. You have seen many a photo op with the Chief with their daughters Maddy, Lauren and Bree, so we had to have one with the four of us. It was their anniversary so we went back to their place in Wolfeboro to visit with the girls and they relaxed for several days on the boat.
This past weekend we headed over to Boothbay.
The Nao Trinadad - a Spanish sailing ship replica - was in port for a visit.
And with fine weather the next morning we were able to get in our 4.5 mile walk to Spruce Point.
A highlight was seeing the humpback whale that took up temporary residence in the cove of our marina. The reason was the abundance of bait fish that also infiltrated Robinhood Cove. As seen in the video linked below, we first saw the whale at the mouth of the Sasanoa River and then in Robinhood Cove (also called Riggs Cove). It was amazing sight and you can see in one clip it swam just off our dock.

So now that I have shown you some things that support Dorothy's assertion that "There is no place like home." (waters in our case) it is time to say ....
Good Night and May God Bless
