9/3/2024 - Boothbay Harbor, Harbor Tour

We decided to take a tour of the harbor because it was a beautiful day.  A very enjoyable ride and a great captain on Cap'n Fish's Cruises.  My only complaint had nothing to do with the cruise.  Though it was a very bright and warm day, once we got out to the middle of the harbor it was a bit chilly.  So, if you decide to take the tour bring a jacket!

Site Notes: I am not positive, but I believe the tour is fully accessible.

Note: My second picture of a bald eagle!  The first was completely out of focus, even this isn't all that great but not bad for a quick spin around on a moving boat...

Note: The damage is leftover from the strong storms of last winter.  Getting approved supplies for these buildings is apparently difficult.  Transporting them is also not easy...
