Camden

Hi F and F

We awoke to a beautiful calm sunny day. Maine is sure a great place  to be in this kind of weather.We can see why it is such a popular destination during July and August. We have seen lots of Tags (number plates )from Virginia , Maryland , New Jersey and Massachusetts 

W eso enjoyed our breakfast out we decided to try a recommendation from Chris and Susan the other Sabre tied up on our dock. We walked back up the hill a short way to find the Alleyway for a breakfast place which freshly made quiches , muffins and even scotch eggs.

We sat out on the wooden balcony enjoying our coffee,food and the sunny day.

Just after 10 am we set off, Roger in the lead today.Best conditions ever , even the lobster pots were sparse today. We travelled along at 20 knots and reached our destination in 1 hour 20 mins.

The harbor has an inner and outer harbor with lots of mooring balls and a long slip at the Wayfarer's Marina.

We had one slip for the two of us and were able to raft up to Roger's boat. This arrangement works very well as we can both have access to electricity and the dock that way.After lunch we walked around the edge of the quaint harbor into the ,yes again  another Main Street! Lots of stores and restaurants , bit more touristy here but still very nice. Each place we visit has a unique quality about it. Not as many old houses here , as there were in Castine.

Graeme and I went to book for dinner at a restaurant called Atlantia. Chris and Susan had arrived  here yesterday from  Castine and had recommended this place. Went back to the boats for a rest.This boating is so strenuous!!!!

Around 6.45 pm we took the water taxi directly across from our boats to the restaurant and had a lovely view of the harbor from our table as the sun was setting. 

 The food lived up to the recommendation and was superb. A short ride back after dinner and an after dinner drink plus some dessert  (we bought to go from the restaurant)out on the cockpit ,completed the evening.

The town church clock chimed gently ringing to tell us time.

The lights from the town were reflecting on the water of the cosy harbor and a few boats were quietly coming into tie up for the night ,including the famous windjammer sailboats that frequent the waters here.

Over and Out,
