Well as I predicted summer has arrived as we are finishing our cruising time. Today was a spectacular example of summer - blue cloudless skies, temperatures in the upper 80s, cooling breeze and dry air prevent even a hint of fog. Both Faye and I remarked that this was supposed to occur in early July. But I should really switch from a tone of complaining to one of thanks for such a glorious end of our time away from the dock - so I will.

As you can see we are leaving Boothbay in glorious conditions. 

 We are early for the opening of the Southport swing bridge so we putted out around Burnt Island.

Here is the view of the island from the west side.

And soon it was time to once again travel through the Southport Bridge. And today for some reason reminded me of the twin Lewis brothers, Dwight and Dwayne who tended the bridge for years before retiring. They always gave us a little warm Maine chat when we called on the radio for an opening and then from the bridge as we passed through. A reminder that things do change.

 

And Indian Point a low tide is always a interesting sight - today was no different.

 

After lunch it was time for a walk on the Island. The Admiral is ready to lead on.

 

Yes I take of photo of this boathouse every time I pass by it - can't break the pattern now - even though I thought about it.

 And the view from the south end of the island is always wonderful.

 And then we motored around the island - so I was able to get another boathouse photo!!

And then before we knew it. it was night time so it must also be time to say ..................

Good Night and May God Bless
