Sep 16 – Yesterday Maggie and Gary decided to take our inflatable canoe to the Rockport harbor and paddle around a bit and check out the boats. They had a good time except it got pretty windy later in the day and they had to work a little harder than normal to paddle up wind to get back to the docks.
We arrived in Brunswick this afternoon. We had hoped to get a prescription filled at the Naval Station they have here but they closed the medical clinic several months ago. I tell you, this shrinking military stinks. We drove past a small food stand on the side of the road a few miles outside of where we’re staying. It had a line 50 feet long of people waiting for whatever the place was selling. We’re planning on going back there to see what everyone thinks is so hot.
We drove out to the tip of a small chain of islands. The temp was 61 degrees with a strong breeze. We all had our jackets on. Those of you living in San Antonio probably can’t believe it but there are places where it’s not hot all the time. Anyway, we saw several small harbors and lots more coastal cottages.
There is quite a bit to see in this area so we should be here several days. Boothbay Harbor is nearby and is reported to be the place they used for the outdoor scenes of the TV show Mystery She Wrote: the place on TV was called Cabot’s Cove. We’re all looking forward to seeing it for ourselves.
