We eased out of the Basin this morning, with its glass calm waters, trudging somewhat reluctantly to the south, sad to be leaving some of the most scenic areas of Maine.
We went past Cundy Harbor, and out the New Meadows River.
Then we turned west, taking a cut between the islands, where there were a lot of lobster boats working. I noticed two with a sail configuration. Hmmm. That's interesting!
I liked this bridge, too!
At Orrs Island, we turned more to the south again, passing Bailey's Island before turning to the southwest, crossing Casco Bay, with its open swells from the Atlantic.
We passed offshore Cape Elizabeth, with its two lighthouses.
We lost the swells after passing Cape Elizabeth, and turned towards Biddeford Pool, where we had called earlier today and made a reservation for a mooring.
There is a huge, shallow "pool" at Biddeford Pool that fills with the tide, and when the tide recedes, all that is left is a narrow creek. The narrow cut at the outlet has a lot of current as all the tidal water flows through this opening.
We took the launch into town and walked around a little.
We had another picture perfect evening.
