Day 6 Pulpit Harbor to Seal Bay

The night was rainy and windy with temperatures in the upper 50s. The day started cloudy and turned  sunny with a passing rain shower late afternoon. High sixties with calm winds in the morning turned to 15 knots of breeze from the west in the afternoon.

Yes it was a blustery night. The harbor provided great protection from any waves, but the wind got real strong at about 0200 with heavy rain. And the captain, on the bow, of this schooner next to us looks like he was up most of the night keeping an eye on things - I was.

 

The morning started with clouds and fog.

Then about 0900 the sun managed to gain control of the day over the clouds - but the battle lasted through the day. 

This small dory provided a great addition to the photo of Pulpit Rock.

We headed south along North Haven island. This amazing home has always impressed me every time I see it - today was no different.

Soon we were rounding the southern end of North Haven and heading east through the Fox Islands Thoroughfare.

And soon pass the Sugar Loaves

There are a number of summer ''cottages" here as well

This is the town of North Haven

This is the east end of the Fox Islands Thoroughfare.

 

 

Looking back at the Fox Islands Thoroughfare.

 

A short distance south along Vinalhaven Island we reached the entrance to Winter Harbor - straight in - and Seal Harbor that is a turn to the left after the second island.

Here we have turned in the entrance of Seal Bay

We found our favorite spot just west of Hay Island. The clouds provided a great enhancement to the sun's departure for the day.

 

So you can see it is time to say .......................

Good Night and May God Bless
