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 is lying on the mud bottom at low tide. We can only go to town a couple of hours before and after high tide. The entrance to this inner harbor has the same shallow areas that have to be navigated, making it 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 out in their kayaks, and, as it happens, they both owned vacant moorings that they offered to us. One also offered their car and the use of the guest house's laundry. 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.
