The scenery has been spectacular…

| Loster pots everywhere! |
While at the Lobster Festival we met some guys from Matinicus Island - the easterly most island in Maine. They said to us "you must come visit" - so we did...
Again, the generosity was unbelievable, being "given" lobsters every day…
Even in a crate to have in the water to keep them alive...
So I said thank you by making them a tray of cupcakes...
We went for a walk on the islands - lovely...
Another beautiful sunset - Matinicus Island...
We have been doing a lot more motoring then we thought we would be,
due to there being not enough wind…
We arrived in Portland to a most unusual sight…
Tug Boat Racing...
In this part of the world, they race what they can - the Lobster Boats do Lobster Boat Racing… some of the engines in them are extremely "grunty" for this reason!
We went ashore and found a wine bar with these lovely murals…
This first one showing prominent wine regions - we were thrilled NZ was so well presented on it!
We then headed to Southport Marina - a great marina which we would highly recommend (www.southportmarine.com), where Our Rose stayed for 3 nights
while we went via ferry to Nova Scotia
We stayed at an amazing B & B called Guest Lovitt - Twler who owns it is beyond amazing - again we would highly recommend (www.guestlovitt.ca)
We went on a heritage walk, visited gardens...
Check out the tidal range - the height of the wharf compared to the boats!..
