It was a calm night. The day start cloudy, but by 9:00 am we were blessed with another wonderful summer day in Maine. It was the perfect weather to hike Indiantown Island.
As you can see, Perelandra is resting quietly at anchor on the calm sea.
The phrase "perspective is everything" really rings true many times - and looking out through the woods of the island makes the scene we have just viewed from the boat look completely different.
A twisted dead tree looks so gnarly. Viewing it on a moon lit night would really set the scene for a ghost story.
The trail begins on the north end of the island and ends on the south end, at the point of these next photos. The slight elevation and the framing of the scene from the trees provides another example of "perspective is everything."
And speaking of perspective, the Admiral provides a perspective of large this tree is - easily the largest we found in the forest.
And around noon it is time to mosey on to Robinhood.
Entering the mooring field at Robinhood.
Here is one of the floating house boats that Robinhood rents out. It would be great and unique way to vacation "on the water."
We have really enjoyed our extended time on the water for most of the month of July. As noted we didn't visit all our favorite places in Maine this summer - but visited some twice - by design. I am already looking forward to next year when we can see some of the old favorites that were skipped.
We are pleased to have decided to only make one long cruise this year versus our typical two trips - one in July and one in August. We are looking forward to visiting local spots and arranging for grandchildren visits. Stay tuned for those posts.
The clear sky is amazing. Look close at the left of center of the picture and you can see the new moon.
The black foreground foreshadows the darkness of the current night, so it must be time to say........
Good Night and May God Bless
