A rare totally rainy day! It was forecast and we were in a quiet anchorage in Harpswell Harbor with lots of swing room to just let it rain. We are very fortunate to have a loose schedule so that we could just stay at anchor to wait it out.
So what do we do to keep busy on a rainy day? Jay works on the computer and having an internet connection makes that even better. Reading good books we brought or pick up at marina book exchanges works for a while. Norma brought some unfinished craft/embroidery projects that she wants to complete by the time we get home. Listening to Sirius radio allows us to hear music, news or NPR and that signal is received anywhere we go. I let Jay beat me playing cards sometimes! A quiet slow paced down day can be a good thing. We are thankful for a warm, dry boat!
The rain did stop, fog lifted and the sun shone bright on Sat. morning so we headed into Portland to restock food, water and fuel before beginning the longer hops southward. Portland was bustling on a weekend with kites flying at the shore-side park and a harbor full of boat activity.
We again used the bikes to explore South Portland near the marina where we stayed. Explored to find the kites in the Bug Light Park, Hannaford grocery store, a local art festival and the growing downtown South Portland area.
