We made it to Maine today! Another gorgeous day, with a little wind in the morning that basically went away by noon and it was dead calm. It was cold on the water, as we were offshore about 15 nm at one point and we both had fleeces and sweatshirts on for several hours. Warmed some in the afternoon and actually got a little foggy, but not very bad. We had intended to go to Kennebunkport and check in with the Bush's, but there was no place to anchor there, so we told them we might catch them on the trip back south. We are about 2 nm east of Kennebunkport here at Cape Porpoise, which is a pure fishing village and the entrance is lined with hundreds of lobster trap buoys. These were so close together that there was barely enough room for the hull to pass between them. Thought I would include a picture of it. The picture doesn't do this justice, but hopefully you'll get the idea.

We head to Portland tomorrow to meet someone to pick up the packages I mentioned a week or so ago - named Spike and Rocky. At least those are the working names we have for now. Will send a picture tomorrow and let you know what this is all about. The weather is going to take a turn for the worse starting Sunday evening, so if we don't leave Portland Saturday morning, we may be there through Tuesday and depart Wednesday. It will take a couple of days to reach Camden, which is our next destination that we want to get off the boat and stretch our legs for a few days. We will let you know how that goes.

I just looked and our present latitude (north/south) is almost exactly the same as Manchester, VT. Then I looked a bit farther and Bar Harbor is virtually straight east of Burlington. Just a bit of geographic trivia for you ...
