From Pulpit Harbor we motorsailed back across Penobscot Bay to Belfast. It's a neat little town, with great amenities. Book stores, supermarkets and laundry near by and of course some of the best lobster and ice cream around. After a couple of days in Belfast we went back to Rockland for the SSCA Gam. There was a dinghy raft-up cocktail party on Friday with all kinds of great food being passed from dinghy to dinghy. It was also a kind of Northern Neck Rendezvous as we shared the anchorage with Hank and Seale George (Flash); Bob and Terry Hood (Kismet); and Brian and Vicki Murray (Southern Yankee). The next day we had a pot luck lunch with a guest speaker from Cape Breton Isle. She gave us all a taste of what it would be like to cruise in Canada and the Bras d'or Lakes. HMMMM maybe next time!!

After all that excitement and socializing at the Gam we needed some quiet time, so we went back east across the Bay to Perry Creek, where we met up with our friends Jim and Joanne Mathews aboard s/v Grayce and Dave and Cindra Andersen aboard s/v Restless No cell coverage or internet, just a few boats and quiet. Delightful!
