Smart Enough to Come in? I guess not...

Naskeag Harbor launch

 I suppose it's no coincidence that we often wind up at Naskeag on foggy mornings.  After all, there are so many islands close to shore.

    And the fog was supposed to lift.  Besides, there's an erratic to amuse us.

 Fog is a chance to test navigational skills.  We haven't headed west recently from Naskeag Point, Mark is trying to figure out which island that odd monument is located on.

A bit further along and it's apparent the monument is really a tree; the lone tree monument (by the sailboat.)

Fortunately the fog was light enough to cross the channel.  Further on the rain started.   Well, showers were predicted for afternoon.  We though the rain would  stop soon.

Or not.

Eventually, it seemed prudent to head back.  Our final debate was if we should stop on an island  first?  Our seats were about the only dry part left.  And, we'd certainly get wet loading our boats back onto the car.

It may be damp, but it's still our own special island!

Coming into the harbor, we finally saw Blue Sky!
