Cold cold cold and foggy (and cold)

Arrival of summer here in Northeast Harbor means foggy and 54 when the rain breaks up that is. Yesterday we were socked in pretty good. Mom and Dad left early in the morning, but unfortunately a combination of weather and a random bird strike delayed their return to Atlanta through Boston. While they were here we got to take a ride on the schooner Margaret Todd. As you can see, if it wasn't 100 feet in front of us, we couldn't have told you we really left port or not. Although the prevailing winds and sub-60 degree temperatures seemed to indicate we were indeed moving.






Believe it or not the first picture is not an actual shot of the Mayflower, but was actually Mom, Dad and Molly Saturday morning on the Margaret Todd. Rain took over yesterday and we packed it in for the day.

Today was a little more promising. We hit Ship Rock in Acadia which was about a 1.5 mile loop out to the harbor near Southwest Harbor and got some spectacular views of the waves and the rocky coastline. Fog had lifted a little but I'd swear the weather was closer to winter in Atlanta than summertime.





...and of course, how can we forget today is Alex's 8th Birthday! We actually devoured the cake Di made for him today.



More to come tomorrow as we hit Freeport and Boston
