Maine..........A Side Trip

We were ahead of schedule with  high winds weather  predicted again for tomorrow, so ........we  drove by car North to visit Maine.  I know, going  North if it's  already cold!  We really wanted to visit New England  and it was way easier, and cheaper, to do it by car than boat.  We got a great week  slip rental deal and kept the car we had over the weekend for 4 more days.

We drove over to the Boston area (didn't stop in Boston though) and from there headed north.  We headed up the coast with our final destination as Booth Bay Harbor, Maine .  We spent three days going north on the coast very slowly and one long day coming back on the freeway.

Steve, our harbormaster from Moonstone Bay, texted us repeatedly about our boat.
