Scituit -> Onset Mass

Aug 27th & 28th on a mooring in Scituite, met up with Jim & Sylvia on Manta, friends from Boothbay. Enjoyed the town and look forward to going back, great showers.
29th anchored in Onset just relaxing after a long bumpy sail. Over to Red Brook Harbor for one night at Parker's Boat Yard, ran aground on the way over. All part of the experience. Then back to Onset for a few more days. Will probably continue South on Monday Sept 3rd.

Aug 15th Maple Juice Cove

We've been cruising Penobscot Bay, joined up with the Maine Cape Dory for a few days then got stuck in the fog.
It's a little foggy but love the Olsen House in Maple Juice Cove.
One more batch of Lobster 5 for $20.00, can't thank those lobstermen enough.
So glad we were able to meet up with Jeff, Linde and Company in the Barred Islands.

Also a nice visit with Linda Audet, she spent 4 days with us.  Glad to have 2 clear days in a row, it's been a little foggy.  I'll try to get better at posting, internet should get better as we head south.
