Hooray! My last Maine Island trail paddling day was another spectacular one. From last nights campsite I could hear the reversing falls even a slack tide when I departed, but I didn't go anywhere near them. Still there were all sorts of exciting currents and waves to see. Checked out Eastport. And then found the Airbnb where Warren, W & Dad will meet me later tonight (though I did try the wrong house first). Will explore the area with family tomorrow then back to Gloucester Friday. Thanks Maine Island trail , what an amazing experience

Getting to Lubec a couple days before my family comes to pick me up, I get to explore Cobscook bay etc. tides are impressive here. Lots of eagles. The wildlife sound I couldn't place the other night is seals

I did it! I paddled the whole Bold Coast in one day. Weather/tides/waves all worked out. There were big rocky coast and squirrelly currents. Arrived at sunset point RV Park just at sunset

Dickinsons reach yurt community was lovely including a yurt library I would have loved to curl up in but I had to watch the tide. Was a bit choppy out there today. Watched some seals hauled out from a safe binoculars distance. Made it to cross, camping next to an old coast guard station, and lots of blueberries

Oh the guilt and excitement of disturbing a bunch of seals hauled out on a ledge.
Made it to my planned site by lunchtime so put in the distance to get to a site with a yurt privy. Tomorrow I will explore pioneering yurt/simple living site

So much easier without the fog. Tides have cycled through so now I'm loading the boat on an outgoing tide and unloading on incoming, just to keep me on my toes.
