Kent Cove - Camden - Linekin Bay -
As is our usual practice we left NE Harbor at 6:30 AM to start our way south once again. Our first stop was Stonington, where we anchored just out of the mooring field. This is a working harbor, so there were lobster boats coming and going, rocking and rolling Chanticleer. We launched the dinghy and went to shore, walked the town and had some well-deserved ice cream. Once we were back on the boat we decided to leave and stop at Kent Cove, which is a new place for us. It's located just east of North Haven in Fox Island Thoroughfare. It's a lovely, peaceful spot. The next day we broke protocol and departed at 9AM as our next stop was Camden which is only 16 miles away. We have been to Camden several times - it's a typical, beautiful Maine town. Lots of shops and restaurants and of course ice cream and bookstores. It also has a historic and architecturally unique public library, which has been recently renovated. Wandering around town was fun. After two nights, however, we were ready to keep going south. Back to basics: we left at 6:30 AM towards Linekin Bay. After traveling for 45 miles we anchored and chilled the rest of the day. One of the most noticeable differences from NE Harbor area and Penobscot would be the amount of lobster pots - as you move towards Casco Bay they are lighter. Now don't get me wrong, there are still many, many pots, but somehow less stressful.
