A great day starts with a great breakfast, "Waves" at Boothbay Bay takes names, and you wait outside til a table becomes available.

We booked a 2hr trip around the harbour.

Our 10am date with Eastwind, a beautiful wooden schooner.

Captain Sean with his vast knowledge of the region.

Crew Simon and Jada, helped set the sails for our round the bay adventure.

The Lighthouse on Burnt Island, has guided folks into the harbour for many years.

Captain Sean took our picture on the return journey, having told us of his adventures captaining ships, for Belgian Millionaires throughout the Caribean.

Just as we came back to port, Jada let a line slip, trapping part of the sail aloft.

Back to our room at the Fishermans Wharf Hotel, before Derek directed us to Southport, a tiny beach and a short hike. Frankly there is no more room on my body for bug bites, so I may not look entirely enthused.

Ian on the other hand, fresh as a daisy.

I took a paddle in the chilly water, a couple of dog walkers enjoyed the sand.

My favourite sport, a look around the shops.

Ians favourite sport, the local Ice cream Parlour.

And his lifes moto.

This was a 1 scoop small cone!

After a brief rest we took a trot over to the next inlet, for Live Lobsters.

We had scoped this place out earlier in the day, a recommendation from Simon, our crew member from the Tall Ship.

Sorry vegitarians, I have dreamed about Maine Lobsters since we were here in 2012. I selected my Lobsters weight and allowed the cook to select the victim.

Ians Fish and chip special pales into insignifigance. Dream come true territory.

And back across the bridge in the steady rain, we stopped for a beer before bedtime.

Sleep well dearest reader, Glad we didn't have to walk the plank in the end. xxx
