What a gem-Isle Au-Haut!

The weather was picture perfect and we waited for the turning of the tide so as we could move thru the pass to moor at the town.
Didn't touch bottom and tied on to a red mooring ball. A small bottle was attached to leave $20 in. It was very cozy in the gut just off the town wharf.

Apparently the island was male only until 1939 I believe.Populated mostly in the summer by academic types from the NE US.
There was a beautiful library there which was like an Alladins cave, and we spent a great morning browsing.
We did discover that there was Contra dancing the night before, but no notice to let folks know what was going on, this was a pity as my wife teaches dancing and this would have been a great oppoutunity.

Pictures from inside the church on the island and it was very well maintained and a beautiful building.





The church was hiding up this beautiful walkway and smacks of history.
