Day 16 August Cruise Seal Cove to Boothbay Harbor Thursday August 27, 2020

The breeze of yesterday petered out to calm over night. The clear evening air stayed to reveal bright sun. But high clouds moved in before 8:00 and stayed all day - making fun of the forecast sunny day. The day was supposed to be sunny. We had talked about once in Boothbay having an end of the trip ice cream as the forecast was for a nice day. But the ice cream shop didn't get our business or likely much on anyone else's as clouds covered the predicted blue sky. Oh well the wind was calm and the trip from Seal Cove to Boothbay was easy and calm. As you can see the clouds had the upper hand today. One thing to note is you can see the abnormally high high tide - about 1.5 feet above normal. Maybe tomorrow will bring the forecast sunny day and mild temperatures - and ice cream. While I do not have an abundance of wonderful photos to share today. I would like to note that it was a pleasant nice day. Just being on the boat is fun - and a safe place to be. As night settled in I counted the number of lights in the hundreds of hotels rooms visible from our vantage point - I only needed to use two hands and one foot to keep track of the non-dark rooms - tourism and particularly hotels must have had an unprecedented poor year. After a wonderful steak on the barbie dinner, we played another round of Sky-Jo, I won't reveal the two straight game winner, but she was rather happy after the outcome several nights ago. So as the Admiral settles in for the night with a bounce in her step and a smile on her face, I will pass on her wishes to all of ............ Good Night and May God Bless
