Pulpit Harbor, North Haven Island to Stonington, Deer Isle - 7/9/15

Pulpit Harbor is a "quiet" harbor.  I mean, really quiet.  I mean you better be quiet or leave.  It is a truly beautiful spot and very protected with excellent anchorage.  Any noise, anywhere is audible everywhere.  It was easy to hear the murmur of folks a hundred feet away or their music playing softly.  Burt Bacharach?  Really?!  I mean that was the most original thing you could come up with while hanging out on your million dollar sailboat?  Anyway, Burt's OK. ;)

Awoke to a beautiful, serene and sunny Pulpit Harbor.  Dan is finding the limited space onboard makes him a little stiff by morning.  Neither of us are unhappy with the size of the boat (though a bigger one would be wicked cool someday) but we live on it, right now and it IS a small space for middle-aged men.

...So little morning stretch was in order.  The poling-platform is a perfect place for this.

After Dan's morning stretch, we motored in the direction of Stonington, Deer Isle.

Underway,  I hung some wet clothes, I had previously dunked in the ocean for cleaning, out to dry.  This, of course, guaranteed that we would, once again, make a classy impression as we came into harbor.

Not incurring the expense of having to look good.

We went to the public library to take advantage of the free WiFi.  No sooner had I dropped a five dollar bill in the donations-bucket and Dan came in to tell me about the cool coffee shop next door.  So I went over there.  He was right.  I ended up spending a good four hours at 44 North Coffee enjoying the excellent coffee, ambiance and WiFi.  Dan made friends with some folks on vacation and chatted with them for a while.

Ahhh, sweet, sweet connectivity.

Danny decided to take Windfall out to drop anchor and leave me at the coffee shop.  I kept right on working and drinking delicious coffee.

Rowing back to the pier.

In the meantime, I had closed down the coffee shop.  But their WiFi was still good and it was a beautiful day!

I worked a little longer and than Dan bought me dinner at a family restaurant near the pier.
