While Jonny took care of that I took Archie for one last walk through town.
We left Bar Harbor at 11:15 on calm seas. We passed the majestic Egg Light in the distance. It looks a lot like a castle from afar (unfortunately I couldn’t get a good shot of it). It was a beautiful day as we cruised between scenic islands surrounded by lobster pots!
By 12:20 we arrived at a gorgeous spot in Sand Cove which is part of the larger Winter Harbor. It is called Winter Harbor because the waters here have historically not frozen in the winter. There we contacted the Winter Harbor Yacht Club to secure a mooring. This was a beautiful harbor filled with little bulls eyes sailboats in an array of colors.
Jim, our launch driver, came by to give us the lay of the land. Shortly after we called him to take us in and we had a delicious lunch at the very attractive yacht club.
You can see how high the tides are in this part of Maine in next photo.
After lunch we took a long walk into the little town of Winter Harbor that had a small well-stocked grocery store, a few scattered shops and a couple of restaurants, most of which were not open.
We also visited one of the other places to stay in Winter Harbor - this one filled with fishing and lobster boats. The harbor was much smaller and we determined that we had chosen the best one for us.
After our long walk into town we returned to Zendo but missed the little sailboat race that was supposed to take place that afternoon, we chatted with a few of the yacht club members as we waited for the launch. And we met a fellow doodle whose name was also Archie!
That evening I made a delicious stuffed eggplant dish for dinner and we had a calm night on board with thousands of stars in the clear night sky. Being far from any city lights really makes a big difference!
