Day 17 August Cruise Boothbay Harbor to Robinhood Marina Friday August 28, 2020

The clouds of yesterday headed east to reveal bright sun morning. The day was mild with only a slight breeze. Nice last day

The sun coaxed me out of bed. It was nice to see the sun on the last day of our cruise. Yes we planned to end on a nice day because we looked ahead and scheduled it - another joy of being retired instead of having to plan to the Sunday of the end of a vacation week.

Today's photos will start with one from yesterday that shows the high tide.

And here is the scene with today's low tide. Even in an "urban" setting the tide makes a great difference in the scene. I never tire of watching the shifting view that tide provides.

And we went on our walk out to Spruce Point. You have seen many a photo from this walk in earlier posts this year. This photos is to further demonstrate the lack of people at the motels in Boothbay, and I would suspect those in all of Maine. This lot would normally be nearly full this time of day and time of year.

On returning to town I was brought short when I finally noticed this door still here. It had been at the end of an old building that sat on the site for more years that I know of. Its principle function was it contained of all things. a bowling alley.  After the owner died a number of years ago it was purchased to make way for condos - but it hasn't happened - and the old door lingers for another year - will it be there next year?

And I know you seen this photo before of Indian Point, but I love seeing it very time I pass

And we noticed that Hannaford's Supermarket had lobster on sale - the cheapest in years. Well can you think of better end of cruise dinner? Me neither. We got enough for lobster rolls for lunch tomorrow. Here the Admiral is dressed in her finest lobster eating tee shirt - no napkin required. Let's eat!!

And here is a fitting shot. This is taken from slip E13. It is the slip that we first had when we arrived at Robinhood with our new to us Bayliner 38 in 1999.  It's been a wonderful 22 seasons here at RMC.

So as you can see the sun is about to go down on another wonderful day on the water it must be time to say ................

Good Night and May God Bless
