We spent Wednesday in Boothbay re-provisioning, thanks to Lynn & Pat's car. Laundry, cleaning, drying out from yesterday's fog, water fill up, and deisel fill......ready to leave Thursday morning.
Thursday we left with a glorious, sunny, and calm day. Motor sailing was in order. Had bagels & coffee on the water while watching a couple of porpoises arching through the water. Then, heading further East, we crossed through Muscongus Bay. There were lots of seal sightings and more porpoises. Turning North into Penobscot Bay we could see the hills of Camden. It was very reminiscent of Conemara in Galway. We rounded northeast of North Haven Island, looking for the entrance to Pulpit Harbor. It was so difficult to see we had to rely on the GPS to find it. Finally Pulpit rock came into view and it was awesome!! On top of the rock was a huge nest with 2 osprey in the nest. We pulled into the harbor at 3:45, set anchor, and relaxed for the evening. There was a fabulous sunset over the Camden hills which we watched from our cockpit. The sky turned pink then red behind the clouds. "Red sky at night, sailor's delight"
