Day 2- Cruising the Coast of Maine

Poor connectivity yesterday, so I’m posting yesterday’s entry the morning of day 3 of our cruise…

Dave & Dad started yesterday rubbing the ‘fur’ off the props, cages and hulls. That explains some of the poor performance the day before. Fortunately, the water was 67-degrees, although Dave was still shivering after an hour in the water (Dad was in half that time). So Lady performed a little better Monday, but there are still some bugs to work out of the system.

It was a bit cooler on the water Monday, and mostly overcast. The boys drove the boat, but it required layers, including windbreakers! We spent the evening on a mooring at Sebasco Estates in Phippsburg, ME. It was warmer on land and with the sun out, was delightful. We took advantage of the location and went ashore for a brief walk, and discovered a little ice cream hut on the premises. Yum! Mom & Dad treated us to drinks at the pub, along with an appetizer of mussels simmered in garlic, butter, and white wine- a perfect appetizer to our stir-fried gingered scallop dinner back aboard Lady. We then sat in the tramps and enjoyed the fireworks display Sebasco Estates was doing. A pleasant surprise, as we had no idea they were happening! Today we are heading for Greenland Cove in Muscongus Bay to visit with cousins for a few days.
