On the AngeliqueSunday July 20, 2008
This morning we had to check out of our campsite and we did it in a leisurely manner. We only had to take the RV to the overflow lot at the state park because they gave us permission to park it there while we were on our Windjammer…like I said…Mainers are nice people. After packing our stuff for the cruise and putting it in the toad, we headed to Rockford and Rockport. We hiked to a lighthouse that was about a mile out on a breakwater made of huge granite rocks. It was drizzling rain and overcast so it wasn’t hot at all. We got our supplies for the trip (no alcohol is served on the boat) and at lunch at a great little deli called 3 Dogs. Very good food including big steaming cups of coffee and cheesecake topped with berries. It was a dreary day and rainy so we did our laundry before going to check in on the boat. Our cabin on the Angelique is VERY tiny, but so is everyone else’s! We have an upper and lower bunk and of course I told Greg that the upper was his which he didn’t mind until he got in it and there was only about a foot between him and the ceiling…he is a bit claustrophobic. So I got the top bunk! We walked into town and ate once again on the waterfront. Our sailing group is really small, 15 instead of the usual 29, and people introduced themselves and we got to know some of the crew. We will be sailing tomorrow morning.
