Time to say goodbye to the Fishermans Wharf, another breakfast at "waves" but no time for ice cream.

We took a stroll along the pier and got another view of the Eastwind, our schooner of yesterday.

After an hour and a half we arrived in Portland Maine, we toured the grounds of their still active lighthouse.

Out to sea its sister lighthouse, still helps sailors make a safe passage.

Having been scammed out of my $1 change, by the nice chatty lady in the museum, we learned about innovations in illuminating Lighthouses. From Whale and fish oil burning lamps, projecting a few candle powers of light, to the massive refracting lenses of the victorian era.

Details of the harrowing shipwrecks, which still occurred with alarming regularity throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Also of the pirates and bootleggers who passed this way.

Next stop Perkins Cove, another scooby doo esque community, with gorgeous properties overlooking breathtaking sea views. Quaint gift shops and eateries with the ever present "Lobsters".

With an hour on the parking meter we took a walk along the " Marginal Way" a narrow coastal walk with vistas across the beaches. Though the weather was sometimes gloomy, the breezes were a relief from the unrelenting heat of the last week or so.

An absolute Gem of a find. " The Shalimar Indian" In Portsmouth New Hampshire!

We took a slow journey through the menu, Our lovely waiter Ronnie, a wonderful artistic young man, looked after us and attended to our every need.

Back to The Kittery Inn and Suites, just across the border in Maine for a well deserved snooze. Goodnight dear reader, hope you too sleep well xxx
