Day 14 August 3 Thursday Seal Cove to Boothbay Harbor

The day continued the recent pattern of wonderful mornings. What is amazing is the 180 degree change from the weather pattern that preceded our trip. As we can't remember a worse start to a summer, we really had resigned ourselves to not getting down east this year. But we are thankful we did.

It was just past low tide when we were getting underway. One of the unique things about Maine is in fact the tides. It is amazing to sit in a spot such as Seal Cove and simply watch the scene change with the rise and fall of the tide.

We had to travel down the Damariscotta River. With the aforementioned incoming tide, there was strong current against us - up to four knots at one point.

Here is Ram Island lighthouse at Fisherman's Passage. Soon we will turn to starboard and be headed into Boothbay Harbor.

Our timing is good as our perfect weather has a day of likely storms from a passing front. Winds up to 30 knots for a while this evening. Being on a good mooring in the inner harbor is certainly a great place to let the weather pass.

The last time we were in Boothbay the church was unlit. Tonight the church once again stands aglow over the harbor. 

 Good Night and May God Bless
