Hi F and F
Woke up to very foggy conditions and debated about when to leave to head North again.Decided to leave around 11 am when things often clear But this was not to be! We saw a lonely seal on our way out and then nothing.Kept our speed at around 10 knots as visibility was very poor around 50 to 100 yards.Started using the fog horn every 2 minutes .
Avoiding the lobster pots was better at this speed and so we got the experience of going at Trawler speed but without the pleasure of seeing the scenery!About an hour away from our destination we heard a fog horn very nearby but couldn't locate it despite having the radar screen to help us.
Then suddenly out of the deep mist a large cruising vessel slide pass us .It was a ghostly experience!
Finally came into NE Harbor on Mt Desert Island.
Last time we had stayed at SW Harbor nearby.Fortunately we had a slip to go to as someone had cancelled and we had the whole 100 ft dock to ourselves. Weather forecast doesn't look good for the next few days so sense we will be here still.
Over and Out
S and S.
