A Morning in Maine

I am going to let the pictures tell the story today.  We left Sprucy, our cottage, and drove to Rockland.  We spent the morning on a 55' ketch called A Morning in Maine.  The sail was incredible and the scenery was perfect.  It was a warm and sunny morning.

After we finished the sail we had lunch in Camden at Cappy's Chowder House, a spot that we visited 5 years ago.  This time we sat upstairs overlooking the harbor and marina.

Dave had a seafood stew that looked and smelled amazing.  I had a small salad with a bit of grilled salmon.  The best part of lunch was smelling Dave's beer.  Yes, you read that correctly.  He had their "beer of the day" which was Bar Harbor Blueberry Ale.  It smelled for all the world like blueberry muffins.  He said it was really tasty. 

We stopped at the public library.  This is still one of the most beautiful libraries we have ever been to.  The flower garden by their outdoor reading area was beautiful.  There was a cute little puppy resting on the bench while his owner went inside.  Across the street is a beautiful view of Camden Harbor and the marina.
