Boothbay Harbor Inn

we sailed into boothsbay in the dark (as usual). we only had limited lights, so it was a crew effort to communicate with chris who was motoring the boat in via GPS coordinates and autopilot. <br><br>"boat at 1 o'clock!" <br><br> "mooring at 11 o'clock!" <br><br> we successfully docked (at the wrong dock than planned but we docked none the less). we had hoped to get farther up the coast but the last few days had been light wind (cary said ...

... Bay to Rockland, Maine, where we found a B&amp;B, The Limerock Inn, run by a former Gwinnett County high school graduate!!! It&#8217;s a lovely old Victorian home&#8212;they seem to be attracting us this summer. We indulged in our &#8220;final&#8221; boiled fresh lobster dinner on this trip as we sat and enjoyed Penobscot Bay. The Chesnutts probably don&#8217;t remember, but we camped near here with ...

up the coast today on a leisurely drive which included going past numerous antique shops and outlet malls. the coast was actually fairly hidden behind trees and summer "cottages". Arrived Boothbay Harbor and checked into a very nice bed and ...

... call it desert mountain. You stand on a table top of pink granite and see 360 water views includinig Bar Harbor. Randi loved shopping at the LL Bean Outlet in Ellsworth. Then we made it to the capital, Augusta for the night. Tomarrow we start our journey home. No more stops except to rest. We hope to make it back to Lafayette (3500 miles) by Thursday. Wish us luck.

... it is on my pile to read.<br><br>I have to tell you about this RV Park we are staying at it is called Meadowbrook.  We just picked it out of one of the RV books we have and for no reason in particular.  The owners are second generation and very nice and friendly.  In the office they have a big tank and scales and you pick out a lobster costing 6.99 per lb they cook whichever one you choose.  In addition Clams can be steamed to add to the seafood ...

Cont'd Another long bus ride took us to dinner in Maine. The restaurant was called Buck's Naked Barbecue. Mr. Nish thought everyone needs to undress before going into the restaurant. They had Pool tables, foosball, and a jukebox. The girls were playing the jukebox a lot. Mr. Nish played a few songs that no one liked. Fortunately the hotel was 5 minutes away. But now we have a study session. Peace out! Krislyn and Courtney

Day 14-15 Eating lots of seafood and blueberry pie. YUM! Shopping for pottery and local art in Boothbay Harbor. Driving out Hwy 27 and 238 and off the beaten path, we find Newagen, a lovely cove with all the beauty and character of Maine.

It's always good to see an architect when your life needs a redesign, so off we go to Maine and our friend Ken Chipman and his dearest Jennifer. He's been dropping in on us in Hawaii for years so we are returning the favor. Beautiful food, hikes and people. We even managed to surprise Ellen and Glen Hibbard and were treated to delicious lasagna! Mahalo!

... I would guess it is a combination of salt, and fish and rotting seaweed but it has a strange almost visceral affect on me, kind of like going home and the moment I opened the car door at this little restaurant that smell hit me. Cal doesn't particularly like it but to me it is like perfume...ok I'm being dramatic but it is a very safe familiar smell to me.  This place is called Harraseeket Lunch and Lobster and is on the wharf and just a little divey looking place ...

... took pictures of all that was kitschy in Boothbay Harbor. I was able to get a lobster roll. I figured I had to take one in before the trip was over. It was alright. The lobster itself was the best I've ever had. But it's just mayo and lettuce on a french roll. After passing Boothbay I passed over bridges and it took a long long time because pedestrian crossings in Maine are a serious thing. You must stop because of ...
