Later that morning the two of us walked by the lobster festival through an array of pens with farm animals including miniature horses, goats, rabbits and pigs. Very cute!
We headed for the wonderful Farnsworth Museum which is spread out over several blocks in downtown Rockland. It is filled with the works of Maine artists and some others. Their particular focus is on NC, Andrew, and Jamie Wyeth. It was a very good museum and well worth a visit.
The grounds of the museum had a number of very interesting sculptures as well.
On the walk back to Zendo we ran into these jaunty pirates who were volunteering on a pirate ship that was at the festival.
We had decided that we didn’t want to stay in Rockland another night and we preferred to head out to a nearby anchorage since we hadn’t spent any time anchoring in quite a while. We discussed meeting up with our travel companions in either Camden or Belfast the next day based on the availability of moorings. So around 1:30 we headed out stopping at the fuel dock for fuel, water, and a pump out.
We arrived at a beautiful anchorage after a little over two hours of cruising. The anchorage was in Warren Island State Park and it was just beautiful! It was a very large anchorage with a few mooring balls that cost only $20 on the honor system. We opted to drop a hook not far from a dinghy dock that led to the island and park. There were just a few other boats in the anchorage. This was just what we were looking for!
We took Archie into the park and walked one of the trails around half the island. It was well maintained with several campsites. Only a couple of them were being used. The only way to get there is by boat!
That evening we had dinner sitting on the aft deck loving the quiet and serenity of our surroundings.
