The next day we took off for Bar Harbor (Bah Ha Bah) and Acadia
National Park. Gorgeous place to visit. I'll post some pictures of the
park. We took a whale watching boat ride while there, and saw several
finback and humpback whales. I'll put up some pictures of those also.
None of them breached, but at least we saw some. Too many folks had
stories of spending the money and seeing nothing.

Glad to hear that you got to Acadia Park and had a chance to see some
whales. Mt Desert Island has always been one of our favorites and
have spent many vacations there. We spent the month of August in Bar
Harbor when we cruised north 4 years ago. There are some great
hiking trails in the park, and the New England popovers at the Jordan
Pond House are absolutely spectacular.

Looking forward to your pictures.

Here's our trawler looking like a toy boat next to the schooner and
whale watching boat:

Same mooring location, different perspective in front of the Bar

Yes, I've been there! In fact, the Friendship V is the same boat we
took for the whale whatching trip.
