Just to remember 7-10-2018





High Tide

Campobello Retreat

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.
