It was a hot day and after Guy got out of work, we went down to the Marina and took Seabatt (our dingy) out across the bay for a ride around the waterfront.
Stopped by to visit Paul on his boat on our way out
One of the Open Stern Lobster Boats
View of Tank Farm in South Portland
Note the seagull patiently waiting for some lunch
Lobster Buoys
Mike Libby, a good friend of Paul's owns this Lobster Boat. This is where we buy our Lobsters...can't get them any fresher than this!
Lobsters for sale
It's always interesting to read the names on the boats...wonder what the story is behind this one....(in case you can't read it....it's "Captain Underpants")???
A view of some of the huge pleasure boats that dock here on there way up the Coast...
In the background is DiMillo's Floating Restaurant
Their boats are only one step away from their condos
Just passing us by...a cruiseboat, tugboat and tanker....
We were just chugging along when we came across this huge yacht.
This one is worth a couple million, for sure!
Just as we came alongside it, our motor conked out and we drifted into the back of it.
A last look as we headed back across the bay to Aspasia.
When we were home again on Sea-bbatical, we fixed ourselves a refreshment, climbed up on the flying bridge and just enjoyed the warm breeze and breathtaking views.
The Boat People arrived after dark. Four shady looking characters, for sure.
Jenn & Ryan seem to be enjoying Maine on their vacation.
Ellen & Andrew
Ellen & Grandfather
Bill Smith, one of our boat neighbors stopped by.
Ellen found a Corona jacket...doesn't take much to please her!

We were just chugging along when we came across this huge yacht.

Just as we came alongside it, our motor conked out and we drifted into the back of it.As we bounced up on her platform, I looked up and saw several people looking down at us!
I asked if we were late for cocktails and they said we were...cocktail hour started at noon!
One of the ladies came down and helped tie us up and asked what the problem was. Our motor
was steaming and she said to wait a minute and she'd get one of their mechanics to look at it.
He came over and discovered we had taken on some seaweed, and told us to wait a few minutes
and when it cooled down, it would probably start again.
In the meantime the lady and I were chatting about this n' that and it's a good thing I
had my sunglasses on, because I would have been blinded by the size of her diamond ring!
WOW, it was the biggest I've ever seen.
The mechanic was quizzing Guy about places to stay up the Coast and so Guy was giving
him his best tourist tips and we felt that they were about to ask us aboard.
Just then, one of the guys from our Marina happened by and said he'd tow us across if we needed some help....and broke the spell!!
Our engine was started and all was well again.
What nice people they were...
A last look as we headed back across the bay to Aspasia.
When we were home again on Sea-bbatical, we fixed ourselves a refreshment, climbed up on the flying bridge and just enjoyed the warm breeze and breathtaking views.Thought the reflections in the water would make a neat photos.
The Boat People arrived after dark. Four shady looking characters, for sure.They had tickets for the Sea Dogs game this evening, but things didn't quite work out, so
they bought some brews and came over to hang out with the Ol' Folks
