It is a quite lovely morning.  Magnus L and skipper make it a point to have a morning dip although we are challenging the environment; it is today down 14 degrees…!  After breakfast we make amends at the Hinkley Boatyard, whose buoy we snatched last evening.  No problem to the tune of a reasonable $US 35.  On the high pier (tide is out) we meet a Canadian bunch of motor cyclists, stangers like us and we make friends.

Off eastwards. In bright sunshine but very little wind we try to wind ourselves through the inland waterways as much as possible and eventually reach Jonesport.  This is like the end of the world. Idyllic and quaint and somewhat “backwards” was our impression  Original characters driving not so original gigantic pick-up trucks.  Our inland walk leads us to, of course, the lobster landing where we purchase five “a pound and a quarter”. On we go to the local pizzeria/liquor/snacks store which is one of a kind.  We buy medium size pizzas one  Peperoni and one Hawaiian pizza.  The evening meal is, eh…., also original:  Steamed lobster and gratinated lobster stew (in the shell, wonderously prepared by Magnus H) and….pizza (!?)  There were a number of empty bottles in the cockpit at nightfall.
