I need to go back to July 7th and mention one awesome thing. We were anchored in this beautiful and quiet Seal Cove. I looked up and a dozen seals were swimming toward our boat. As they got closer to the boat they spread out and swam under ,around, and past the boat. It was apparently time for them to go fishing. It was wonderful. What a gift. A few small seals were left behind and came closer to the boat to have a look. I got a cute shot of one of them. We had to pull anchor and start on our way. But, as we were heading down the Damariscotta River, the engine temperature began
to rise and there was white smoke coming
out of the exhaust. Fortunately, we were right in front of the Ocean Point Marina in East Boothbay, Me. We tied up at the dock and Bill began trouble shooting the problem. As you can see, the engine is in a tight spot and many times he needs to curl up in a ball to work on it. After cleaning out the raw water intake hole and rebuilding the raw water pump, the problem seemed to have been solved. We took some kelp into the intake and it was clogging things up.
The next morning we made out way to Boothbay
Harbor, Me and enjoyed the day sightseeeing.
Boothbay Harbor is a real touristy place with lots of resturants and shops. 
This is us on a mooring.
