Some like it hot

I think we walked up Penobscot mountain in the hottest day of the year, it was also high humidity. Well worth it, but we didn't do much for the rest fo the day.

So we made it up to North East Habr and it was quite the ride.

We started out from Stonington in fine weather, then it really closed in, fog as they say like pea soup. Thank goodness for Raymarine and the chart plotter as it would not have been much fun with out it.

We had to make the pass just south of Bass Harbour, it is quite tight and there was bit of a current flowing there, of course the fog horn is in your ear and the bell on the buoys seem to all get together to fool you.

Its interesting looking back on the track and see that when we reached the first bell, we almost went 360 degrees until we finally settled our course thru the pass. We were dead on but the fog was some thick. The fog cleared a little and there was the light house almost within hands reach. Trust the instuments and then we were thru.

We had an interesting ride up between the islands on the way to Mount Desert Island, although it was foggy there was still wind with a following sea. The water shallows quite quickly here and the waves pitched up, the ferry came up our tail and told us to hurry up!

We were quite pleased to tie up in NE Hbr after an interesting day.
