We had a lay day today which is supposed to be a day of rest
and relaxation. It was far from
that!
The day started with a bike ride to North East harbor. A beautiful ride along the fjord we sailed up
yesterday. At North East Harbor we
parked the bikes and took one of the free busses to Jordan’s Pond, which we
walked around before having lunch at the pond.
This was followed by another bus ride around Mt. Desert to see views of
the island, then a bike ride back to Somes pond – a beautiful, warm, freshwater
pond just outside Somes Harbor. After
swimming in the pond, we returned to the boat, changed clothes and dinghied a
mile or so to a restaurant on the north eastern shore – Abel’s Lobster
Pound where we had a delicious dinner.
On the dinghy ride home we saw a seal basking on a rock that
appeared since it was low tide. It was
the picture perfect pose with him in an arc – all that was missing was the
beach ball balancing on his nose, oh yes and our camera!
