Boothbay Harbor to Kennebunkport

Thursday, August 15, 2024

We made our return visit to Boothbay Harbor yesterday.  I can’t believe that we’re on our way back already, and we still have weeks to go.

As we left Camden Wednesday morning, the sea was smooth as glass, with a light haze over the water and the islands.  At one point, we couldn’t tell where the sea ended and the sky began.  

We made a short detour to Tenants Harbor, where Jamie Wyeth spent so much time…then on to Boothbay.  We arrived in time for a lobster roll lunch! Dinner was a treat at Dunton’s Dogs, a small, well known hot dog/hamburger stand – local fine dining at its best!

Today (Thursday), we left Boothbay for Kennebunkport, but as we were checking the news and weather, we saw that Ernesto, hurricane number 2 of our trip, was going to cause some travel problems. While it is predicted to stay offshore, the swells are expected to reach 8 feet by Saturday night! We needed to get somewhere and hunker down by Saturday night! But we cant stop just anywhere, because we need to be back in South Dartmouth (Pandanaram) on Sunday for scheduled repairs on Monday. We made a few calls and we will now be in Padanaram for five nights beginning Saturday. Of course that neccessitated a handful of schedule changes…

But we did it! We raced to Kennebunkport with a thunderstorm on our stern and have dinner plans at a lovely French restaurant. Life is good!
