Blessing of the fleet in North Haven

There is always the fly past at the end, and what a racket.
Each of these boats sounded just like a tractor trailer. Its quite alarming when the fog rolls in as you can hear them like a swarm of angry bees, but you just don't know where they are coming from.

Its Maine you can tell that easily cos there are lobsters (and pots) everywhere. You just can't get away from them. Some of them are edible too.
So we were moored at Pulpit Harbour, once we got the kinks out of the chain!
A trip to the store and a chance meeting with Noreen O'Connor and a car was left for us at the dock so as we could go to a concert that night. Keys in the ignition, and then of course drinks after the concert. What kindness! The concert was fabulous. We were invited into several homes most graciously.

Must get a sail cover




Wow


Off to Pulpit Harbour

What a great day, and an even better sunset.
So there you have it.
I t had been an exciting couple of weeks getting the launch organised. Of course there are always many things to be done. Just getting away from work in Newfoundland and travelling for 3 days to Camden was quite an undertaking, but things were becoming real, and even more so as we sat at anchor in Pulpit harbour. Our good friends from Camden (actually guardian angels if the truth be know) Doug and Dale Bruce, came over in their Tayana to wish us well in our travels. Most kind folks and they had had been of great assistance with the days before the launch. It was time to kick back a bit and chill out.

Can you believe this, its taken a while


Its been along day, but resting confortably
