Back to Southwest Harbor

July 16th - 20th  Stops in Pulpit Harbor, North Haven -> Seal Bay, Islesboro -> JO Brown's, North Haven and up to Southwest Harbor.
Stopped a lobster boat to buy some lobster, 5 lobsters for $20.00 yum.  Still having great weather and great sailing.  Caught up with Don and Pat on Libby for a few minutes in North Haven. Yesterday afternoon spent with Ernie and Andrea, old friends from Fay's Boat Yard, what a great time catching up. Will post pictures when I can, uploading pictures has been a challenge this far East in Maine.

July 10th

We went back to Southwest Harbor, looking for a place to get the outboard repaired.  No luck here, headed back towards Rockland in hopes of repairs there.  Would have hald to wait a week, made a new plan.  Headed to Dark Harbor Boat Yard near Isleboro and it was fixed in an hour.  We've now got a rebuilt carborator and off to Rockland to reprovision.

It's July and we're in Southwest Harbor, MDI



We spent a couple more days in Seal Bay on Vinalhaven, love this harbor.   Then a couple days at Buckle Island, another one of our favorites.  Then today over to Southwest Harbor on Mt Dessert Island.  Still having some issues with the outboard, it seems to run when it wants to.  Hope to get it looked at the end of this week.  Headed up to Somes Sound tomorrow for a few days.
