Marc treated us to our last meal of the trip. Nicki and I had not yet had enough lobster, so we splurged.
I will say that restraunt food is nice. But, with Nicki and Marc aboard, we ate very well during the entire trip. Between the two of them we had an amazing variety of foods cooked to perfection and laid out on the plate attractively. I stayed out of the galley while the cooking was going on, but I did my share of the cleanup afterward.

Nicki approached a lobster fisherman that was harvesting in the bay. Nicki will talk to anybody : )
The really nice fisherman was quite willing to sell us some lobsters. He told us how the price of lobster has really come down... the fishermen were getting $3 per pound. He asked $9 for these three, we gave him $10. When that seafood restaraunt is charging you $27 for a lobster meal, it isn't the lobster fishermen that are getting rich.

We had several days to kill before we needed to fly back to Texas and the anchorages in Portland Maine are not particularly friendly or comfortable.
So, Marc brought us to this very friendly and comfortable anchorage. The locals would say that it was down-east from Portland.
Nicki and I did a little exploring via kayak.
