After a fun afternoon & evening in Belfast, we headed south the next day to Warren Island on Isleboros west side to meet up with Tanqueray again. I knew that Looma IV was leaving Camden tomorrow, so I let them know where we were heading and they messaged that they would join us there too.
Trip and I picked up Viviane in the dinghy and we went ashore for a short hike around the island to get some exercise. There’s multiple campsites which you get to via kayak, canoe, or small motorboat, but the trails gave the campers plenty of privacy when we walked by.
We got back to the boat and battened down the hatches as the skies opened up that night. There was thunder and lightning along with torrential rain that lasted for hours. Snug and warm down in our cabin, all I could think of were the campers on the island. We later ran into one of them whose canoe had filled with water and sank (including his outboard!). He was forced into paddling back across the bay. His comments about the storm: “It was pretty cool to watch the lightning the first few hours, but then with all the rain, it got old really fast”.
Looma IV sailed in the next day and we hosted cocktails on board to introduce Mads & Lotta to Lawrence & Viviane. Even though we all planned on leaving the next day, we agreed to an early hike together on the island the next morning.
We woke to crazy but typical Maine fog, and I managed to get some really good shots of Looma IV. Luckily it burned off in time for a nice walk around the island, including sampling of the local wild raspberries.
