Down to Popham

Yesterday the weather was kind enough--sunny in spots and not too windy--to allow us to motor down to the mouth of the Kennebec. We love to poke around Bay Point, Kennebec Point, and Indian Point. We were happy to see that somebody is rehabbing the derelict house that looks out to sea at Bay Point. Dozens of seals were poking their heads up around Fort Popham. Must be a lot of fish. On the way back we saw five great blue herons on one of the small islets at Pettis Rocks. A lovely trip. However, it was a Saturday without oysters.

  1. FIVE GREAT BLUES ALL AT ONCE!!! That makes up for the lack of oysters.

  2. No oysters? A travesty. However, your time in SW Harbor makes up for it and then some. I love Bay Point. So glad I met some of the families down there through skiing and sailing and was able to spend one 4th of July there years ago - we saw five fireworks displays along the coastline from way up on high there. Sort of like five herons.
