Southwest Harbor, Maine

Here's a shot from the top of Monhegan. Nice people on this island. A ferry runs out everyday in the summer from Port Clyde. We were the only visitors that brought their own ride on this day.

The crew is enjoying the visit on a spectacular day.

The harbormaster at Southwest told us about an artist colony on an island 9 miles off the Maine coast. We set sail for Monhegan Island (not to be confused with Mohegan Casino) and we found paradise again. Here is Jungle moored between Monhegan and Manana Is.

Garrett brought the dinghy around from the other side to pick us up. Earlier in the evening we had dinner on the other side of the peninsula, so it was great of Garrett to bring the dinghy around to pick up ole Jimbo.

We sailed overnight and arrived Southwest Harbor on Mount Desert Island, Maine. Very picturesque including this visit to the Claremont Hotel, built in 1884. Southwest Harbor is located at the mouth of Somes Sound the only fjord on the east coast.
