CODA in Snow Island Anchorage

Snow Island was the home of the late great Dodge Morgan.  Dodge was a hero to many.  He invented the Whisler Radar Dectector in the '70's, then became a newspaper publisher, and then did a solo, non-stop circumnavigation at the age of 58.  His record of 151 days still stands.  In 2010 we had been set to meet him, just three weeks before he died.  This was an entirely peaceful two-night stay with great food, swimming, and dinghy rides.  Somebody has to do it.

A terrific squall with winds up to 40 in Biddeford Pool.

Milly captured this in one of our anchorages.

We are presently moored in Love Cove near Boothbay, Me.  and we are really poking along, but just can't pass by these wonderful harbors and coves.  We will go into Boothbay tomorrow to pick up the mail and some odds and ends.  Then push on further downeast.  Weather has been extraordinary, and the crew is very content.  Boat running well.  Intent now is to gunkhole to Bar Harbor by the end of July.  Then take a short break before heading out to the really remote downeast region.  

Portland provisioning stop was the pits.  Brutally hot and errands to run all over town in a very short period of time.  Marina was expensive and not that great.  Anyway we then went out to Great Diamond Island to recover for a day before pushing on to Snow Island and now Love Cove.

Tomorrow on to Boothbay for just one night and out into the Penobscot Bay region where there are so many wonderful places to anchor.
