Tidal Change

We are in the inner harbor in Blue Bay, Maine. Pictured is the town dock where we land our dinghy. The actual dinghy float in lying on the mud bottom at low tide. We can only go to town a couple hours before and after high tide. The entrance to this inner harbor has these same shallow areas which have to be navigated making this an excellent hurricane hole and with Hanna on the way this is working out well. We are on a mooring. We were anchored between the mooring area and the rocks pictured but Linda met a couple of women that were out in their kayaks and as it happens they both owned vacant moorings which they offered to us. One also offered their car and the use of their laundry in the guest house. We were happy just to take the mooring as the laundromat was close by and we really didn't need a car. We sure do appreciate the kindness of people like this that we meet along the way.
