We went from Lakeman Harbor past Petit Manan and up into Harrington Bay near Millbridge, and spent a quiet afternoon and evening there. I took out my ukulele and abused my fingertips working on smoothing out my chord changes. While I was mangling sounds on the upper deck, Dan pulled out the sewing machine and did some minor repairs, making his own sounds below. The poor cat wasn’t sure which was least offensive to her ears.

We went from Harrington Bay to busy Southwest Harbor, anchoring just outside the harbor and away from the jet-skiers and other party boats zipping around Somes Sound. Finally we were going to be somewhere when the farmer’s market set up!! Usually we leave the day before or arrive a day late. We hauled anchor right after breakfast so we could go around the corner to the upper town dock. From there we walked through a light rain to the market for some fresh vegetables. Sweet corn! Wild mushrooms! Beets! Everything looked so good, but we managed to restrain ourselves to what would store well without refrigeration until we could eat it.

We had contemplated making a short day of cruising, but both of us were feeling the pull to go home, so we pushed on to Perry Creek in Vinalhaven. Our friend Rick from m/v SunDog was there, and we invited him over for a drink on the upper deck before the thunderstorms rolled through. It rained into the night and then a north wind came to clear the way for a sunny Saturday and a rather lumpy trip across Penobscot Bay to Camden.
We’ll be home for a couple of weeks before venturing off again.
