Gosh, I can't believe that we have come to our last day here in Topsham at the Maine Event. What a great week we have shared with old friends and new friends. And, today was no different.
By 8:00 this morning, we were ready to load up and head out. However,
Bandit was not too pleased that he was having to stay behind. Sylvia promised him they would be home before dinner time.
We made the hour drive from Topsham to
Booth Bay Harbor where we found our
cruise ship waiting.
At around 10:00, the
captain backed out and we headed through the bay for our 2 hour cruise.
We saw
lobster pounds,
and the lobsterman that keep the markets in business.
And, while these guys are hard at work, these folks
are hardly working.
Our journey then took us out in the open waters were we saw
the harbor seals enjoying the rocks during low tide.
And, there was the
Osprey nested high above the water on this channel marker.
We saw, not just
one lighthouse, but
two.
And, there were the kids
learning to sail, and
those that have mastered the skill of sailing.
We loved looking at the many
summer cottages that
line the banks of the harbors.
Soon, it was time to head back to Booth Bay where we started our cruise. And, once docked
this bunch said..."Feed Me". So, we were off to find lunch. The choice was McSeagulls and chowder, shrimp, and crab was just a few of the items that were delivered to our table. Once again...yummy. I am going to miss the Maine seafood.
After lunch, we spent the afternoon walking
the streets, looking for the
unusual. Mike...she really wanted the hat, but we talked her out of it.
I think
this group is shopped out and ready to get back to Topsham.
Again, what a great week! Thanks, Darrell and Judy for including us in the Maine Event. We look forward to seeing all of you down the road. And...
We loved Maine!
So glad you enjoyed your week in Maine. It's easy to get hooked on that food for sure...

We were sooooo glad that you guys joined us - what a great time we had!!! We're looking forward to seeing you guys again at the Escapade and hopefully we can get together in Texas in January. In the meantime, have safe travels and enjoy Cape Cod.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking us along, loved it. Felt kind of bad for those p'or folk in those "little" summer cottages.
ReplyDeleteSee ya soon,
