We got this parrot a few years down at St Augustine, Florida, on the way down the inner-coastal waterway. It is the closest to a pet we will every have on the Deborah Lee.
We left Rockland yesterday, Thursday, July 5th in the late morning after the fog had lifted. We rode over across the Penopscot Bay to Pulpit Cove on North Haven Island. We were looking forward to some beautiful and quiet surroundings for awhile.
What we found was a beautiful basin. It was full of beautiful clean water, beautiful hills and trees. AND full of mooring balls in the shallower areas. If you wanted to anchor, it would have to be in the middle of the basin in 50 feet of water. Bill did find us a small area that we could anchor in in a small inlet past the mooring balls. Of course, we were very close to rocks that rose out of the water when the tide went out. But, we were safe and in a good spot.
It was really lovely there. A couple of sail boats came through and it was lovely to see them make their way through the mooring balls and pull right up to a landing to let out passengers. We enjoyed this place. More and more boaters are setting mooring balls in these special places so they don't have to worry about anchoring and always have a spot to put their boat when and if they come. The problem arises when a visiting boat wants to come in and anchor cannot because the unused mooring ball is taking up the space.
