Northeast, ME to Rogue Island, ME

Friday, 31 July 2015

This morning we took the launch in and did laundry and let the dogs romp.  Since there were only two washers and dryers, and we had four loads, the dogs got to romp for a good while!
The skies cleared remarkably, as we soaked in the gorgeous views.
We slipped our mooring around 1045 and went out the harbor about halfway to Clifton Docks, where we took on fuel.  The folks there are super nice, grab your lines as you come in, and treat you like they like you!  Isn't that nice?!

So, trash emptied, laundry done, water and fuel full, and air clear, we cruised up the coast to Rogue Island.  We went out the Eastern Way, and followed the coast closely to see the water side of the coast that we'd ridden on the bus.  
We angled to view a little of Big Moose Island before going around Schoodic Point, between Little Moose and Schoodic Island.  


We cut through the Outer Bar between Green Island and the mainland, north of Big Nash Island and through Moosabec Reach, and under the 39' fixed bridge.  
I read that Jonesport is said to be one of the foggiest areas in Maine, so maybe that is the reason lobster pots are scattered every 15'?  No one could see where the other guys are?  The channel through the Reach, to the west of Jonesport was the most concentrated pots we've seen this trip.


We entered the Rogue Island area between Great Spruce an Double Shot Islands, and anchored in Lakeman Harbor to the Northeast.  I could hear a sheep on Lakeman Island before dark, though the island appears to be rock-lined, with spruce trees covering it.
