Another weather delay

I got up early this morning to confirm what the forecast had indicated the night before...today was not going to be a good day to head to Boothbay Harbor. There were big and very steep waves.

After a slow morning and then a quick trip in for Diane and Carol to shop at a consignment shop, we went to Rocky Neck across the harbor for lunch. We had another delicious meal with a beautiful view at the Studio Restaurant.

Though not great, tomorrow looked like an okay day to head for Boothbay Harbor so we left our mooring in the inner harbor and moved out to a mooring at the Eastern Point Yacht Club behind Dog Bar breakwater at the outer harbor entrance.  On our trip out there,  we had clear confirmation that today was not a good day to venture beyond the breakwater..

The club restaurant was closed, but we did make use of their nice showers and then explored the area.

Neil and I walked out to the end of Dog Bar breakwater after our showers.

Back at the boat,  we had had a light dinner and reviewed the forecast data one more time before turning in early.
