Southwest Harbor.

7-21-16 SOUTHWEST HARBOR, MAINE: We arrived in the evening Tuesday in time for dinner at XYZ, a great Mexican eatery. Lunch was at Bob’s Clam Box in Kittery, a must stop for us on any trip through the area.

Ken and Carol are gracious hosts keeping us busy with activities. We hiked in the morning and boated in the afternoon on Wednesday, and hiked this morning. This afternoon Ken and I sailed on Ranger, his hot new sailboat, which is winning races here and anywhere else it goes. Us old codgers were assisted by Drew, Ken’s regular crewman.

We have seen birds, butterflies and a garden full of flowers. The weather has been perfect, sunny and breezy. Dinner yesterday was at Eat-A-Pita in the town of Southwest Harbor. If you’re ever there, get the haddock.
