From Maine to Provincetown to Newport


Our last few days in Maine were spent in Rockland. Like most harbors in Maine Rockland is a "working" harbor. Pleasure boats are  the minority. We were mixed in with lobster boats, large fishing boats and a Coast Guard station.

This red lobster boat was moored next to us. They left every morning before we even got up. Frances' conclusion after seeing so much lobstering is that the sea floor in Maine must be solid lobsters


We got this photo in Maine of a seal in the cove where we spent the hurricane, Seal Bay.

We left Rockland September 2nd and sailed to Provincetown, Mass. getting there at 10am on the 3rd.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Provincetown's claim to fame is that the Mayflower stopped there first before heading to Plymouth. They built a huge tower monument to recognize this event.








One of the main things to do in P-town is walk up and down the main street. It's a great place for people watching. They call it the Key West of New England.
The beach nearby is one of the best we have ever seen. It's immense with incredible dunes.

We are back in Newport now and hoping the weather is good next week for Fran's parent's visit.
