It was time to head west again. The weather looked favorable enough and we decided to head out. After several hours of motoring, we were able to set sail again and had a fabulous run down to Mackerel Cove on the north side of Swans Island.
There were a dozen boats anchored on either side of the cove, but snotty weather was setting in, so there wasn’t any company. We sat down below in the rain and the wind and caught up on reading and cleaning up the interior.
The fog was the heaviest we’ve seen it yet the next morning (could barely see in front of the bow), but we were patient and it finally started to lift. We got the bikes out and headed in to the dinghy dock.
Our first stop was the lobster museum, which was small but had a comprehensive collection of relics from the lobster industry, Swans Island history, as well as flora and fauna from the island. Then it was a hilly but really nice ride across island to the local market. We had a slice of pizza and some fish chowder for lunch, then it was back across the island and back to the boat.
