Not much to say about these places. We sailed from Portsmouth to Isles of Shoals because by the time we fueled up it was a late start (diesel was $3.80 per gallon). We headed into Star Island which offers free moorings (at your own risk, of course). There is a conference center on shore run by a non-profit Unitarian business. It looked like they offered some interesting week long conferences such as photography and other more religious selections. There is no place to land your dinghy so we just stayed on board and enjoyed the views.
We got an early start heading Northeast towards Freeport. Jonathon and I saw a whale on the way. It is the perfect time to see whales up here in the Northeast. Not much wind today so we motor sailed most of the day. As we got closer to Freeport the lobster pots grew exponentially in numbers. We pulled into a place called Basin Cove and dropped anchor in the mooring field.
It is a very serene calm place the locals refer to as “the pond”. We went to The Dolphin Marina to find the laundry facilities of which they had none but they had fresh caught lobsters so we got 3 – 1 1/2 lb. lobsters for $15 and will have a lobster feast for lunch.
I am happy to report that the Captain survived his Lobstah feast. We had the EpiPen ready to go as he has been experiencing some fish allergy symptoms lately but we haven’t been able to determine which fish are causing him the distress. He had no allergic reaction from the lobster…yippee!
