Just to remember 7-10-2018
High Tide
Campobello Retreat
View from guest cottage
FDR's and Eleanor's bedroom, scene of childbirth and polio
Low Tide
1 – Woke up at 6:30, left industrial lobsterland at Head Harbor at 8:00.
2 – Big black back of whale (minke, I think) surfaced just to our port side outside of before mentioned harbor’s entrance, then many smaller whales were sighted along with porpoises and razorbilled auks.
3 – Tied to the pier at Roosevelt Campobello International Park.
4 – Had “Tea with Eleanor”, a heart felt presentation by the local staff who also served tea and Eleanor’s favorite ginger cookies.
5 – Left the pier to anchored a 100 yards off because of shallow water at low tide.
6 – Anchor was reset twice due to not holding the first time . . . a rare occurrence.
7 – Windy! from the SW.
8 – An unexpected thunderstorm rolled in from the north and just missed, but did washed the salt off the deck.
9 – Fog crept in from the SW engulfing Eastport, Maine a mile across Friars Bay, and then cleared.
10 – A beautiful sunset as the wind quieted.
