More Magnificent Maine

The Maine coast is totally picturesque. It is impossible to do it justice in a handful of photos. These pictures were taken while we were based in Eastport. The first two are of our view from the Eastport campsite. They were taken out of our window. Eagles abound in this area and the third picture is of a bald eagle taken in Campobello.

 

The Passamaquoddy Sound lies between Campobello in Canada and Eastport at the southern end of the Bay of Fundy. Entry by sea to the east end of the Passamaquoddy is by leaving the Quoddy East lighthouse on Campobello. The western entrance is guarded by the Quoddy West lighthouse. The third photo is a lobster boat going over a cut to Quoddy East at hight tide. At low tide, people can walk out to the lighthouse which this boat is passing over.

 

 

We went on our second whale watching trip this month. The first is a minke whale surfacing off Campobello. Then we toured the FDR summer residence on

Campobello. Never knew this but when FDR was there the US Navy anchored a destroyer just offshore from his home. Every night, for security reasons, he was carried to the destroyer, where he spent the night.

 

 

It seemed that we ran into a Model T rally everyday in Eastport. There were about 50 of them. The first photo is of a couple on antiques. One was built in 1915, the other 1n 1937.
