Full Day in Camden.

Hi F and F,
Well I should have done this in Rockland but internet reception was shaky! Just arrive back  on Mt Desert and am in a cafe at Bar Harbor trying to update you all!
Just backtracking, we had a reprieve just like we did at  Castine so we got to stay another night on our dock in Camden.After general house keeping on our boats ,we borrowed the courtesy car a bright canary yellow four door vehicle. We headed off to Rockport to check it out .Its a small artist town and was where we were due to go if we hadn't kept our slip in Camden. Had a walk down to the little harbor ,lots of guys and kids fishing off the pier for mackerel that run at this time of year .Apparently the blue fish chase them and they stick together , so makes for easy catching. Blair had given me an expandable fishing rod two years ago so I decided to get it kitted out at the local huge Outdoor sports store.Bit like a mini LL Bean store.Got line and lures so we shall see what I can catch! Soon it was time to return the car . The marina has a 2 hour time limit, but we booked it again for the afternoon .After lunch we headed off again in the yellow canary to visit Belfast another local town north of Camden. More little quaint shops to poke around in. Back to Castine and I had to have my Ginger icecream fix again.The best Icecream I have had!!! Instead of dinner we had the drinks and heavy appetizers again on Linda and Roger's boat. This is probably one of the nicest town harbors we have stayed in so far.
Over and out,
S and S.












.We left Camden in brilliant sunshine.As we left Camden again the lovely Windjammer ships were out sailing in the harbor entrance
