We Board the Schooner Mary Day Tomorrow

WEATHER:  Sunny and Hot

The Schooner Mary Day

The Schooner Mary Day was scheduled to return to Camden from its 3 day cruise at about 10:30 AM, so we hustled to get ourselves together and arrived at the Schooner's dock at around 10:00 AM read,y to greet the Mary Day again.  It was extremely hot and even being on the dock close to the water gave little relief.  We stayed until the Mary Day was safely moored at her dock.  It is really an impressive sight to see that 90 foot schooner majestically enter the Camden harbor, and, with the help of two Zodiac tenders being gently nudged into her berth.  The skill of the Captain and his able bodied, and all female to boot,  crew is awesome and we look forward to sailing with them, and the tide, on Monday morning.

Marriner's Restaurant

But enough romance of the sea, it was now time for breakfast, or brunch, or whatever.  With stomachs agrumble we headed over to Marriner's Restaurant for the second time this week, and again took our repast out on the deck.









1957 Plymouth Savoy

Afterwards we decided to take advantage of the beautiful day and, of course, took more pictures.  We noticed that here in Maine, they keep their cars for quite a long time.  Nine days into our vacation we estimate that between the two of us, we have taken approximately 102,671 pictures.  We're sure you can't wait for our return so you can see them.  Why do we get the feeling that you'll all be out of town for the next few months.  Fear not, we will find you.



Mount Battie

In an attempt to beat the heat, we next drove back up to Mount Battie where we set up our beach chairs in the shade, and just took it easy, which, by the way, we seem to be doing a lot of on this trip.



Our Lady of Good Hope

At around 3:15 PM, we folded our chairs and headed back down the mountain in order to make the 4:00 PM Mass at Our Lady of Good Hope, the Roman Catholic Church in Camden.



Jannie at The Helm

After Mass we made a few stopped at Hannaford's Super Market for provisions, and then hedaed over to The Helm in Rockport for dinner, after which we took some back roads to Appleton.




FACTOID:  The film "Peyton Place" was primarily shot in Camden around 1956, and thevtown looks pretty much the same today.
