Seal Cove - Anchorage
Seal Cove - Anchorage
We
spent a long day on the water. It was 115 miles from Plymouth to our first
anchorage in Maine. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day...the sea
was almost flat, we had a gentle breeze and the sun was shining. We are heading
north as quickly as possible to escape the heat that has settled over New
England...temperature should begin to drop by this weekend. The coolest place
to be is on the water, so moving north is the best option. We'll move slower on
our way south later in the summer and visit some of the places we've by passed.
The
highlight of our day was spotting a Pilot Whale off the shore of Massachusetts...our
first whale. We were so excited, even if his visit was short. Hopefully we'll
see a few more while we are in Maine. A seal greeted us on our way into the
anchorage this evening, but I didn't get a picture of him either...I'm
definitely going to have to be quicker with the camera. Hopefully all our new
experiences in Maine will be as exciting as these.

This is what the whale looked like...since I didn't get a picture I borrowed this one from the Internet.It was beautiful in the North Atlantic today
