This morning it was foggy. The fog lifted for a few minutes, and there really wan't much hope of it getting better. We'd seen the community of Biddeford Pool, we had reservations at the marina at Portsmouth, and it was relatively calm, so off we went.
As you follow the progression of photos, you can see a house in Biddeford Pool, the lighthouse , what the rest of the day looked like, and the approach into Portsmouth.
We went into Back Sound to a slip at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, an MWR facility for military/retired. We decided to rent a car, and see go to Freeport and a few places around the area.
For others doing the same thing: the slips are perpendicular to the current, so advance planning for slack water may be a good idea. The base provides nice 40' slips, water, and 30amp electric. The rates are reasonable.
Lighthouse in the photo!
Another note, Enterprise wouldn't pick us up, said they were short handed in the office. Can't you find a way down here? Let me get this, the company who says "we pick you up" can't spare 10 minutes to come and get me, but, wants me to walk the distance in the pouring rain? Someone at the marina gave me a ride down.... Thanks, Robert!
It rained much of the day on Friday. We picked up the car, made a commissary run, and did some boat maintenance.
