Some of us woke with a reminder of just how strong those
Gins and Tonic were last night. However,
after breakfast and a refreshing swim, we all seemed to be in good health and
set off in the afternoon for Indiantown Island, where we planned to hike. We had a great sail as far as Townsend Gut,
where we needed to motor through the opening bridge.
We picked up a guest mooring off the island, and after a
look at the dark sky, we decided to wait and see what was in store for us. We soon found out – the forecasted
thunderstorm arrived and dumped a lot of rain, but fortunately no
lightening. After the thunderstorm we
were treated to a surreal spectacle of what looked like steam on the water’s
surface accompanied by extreme heat and humidity. We went for a walk on Indiantown Island
anyway and found some respite in the shade under the trees.
After the walk, we motored the small distance to a guest
mooring provided by the Maine Coastal Botanical Gardens where we
spent the night, 43 52.78N 069 40.34W. We also just managed to dodge another heavy
bout of rainfall.
Marc was banned from making cocktails and entertained us
with is guitar instead; Vice Admiral Ron made some much lighter Rum Punches –
Pineapple Juice, Cranberry Juice and Rum.
