Bath, ME-Boothbay Harbor, ME

The trend continues of the Gulf of Maine and its’ bays have been plenty calm enough for a trailer boat to cruise through. The Down East Loop involves sailing out the St Lawrence into the Atlantic Ocean around New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and past the Bay of Fundy with its’ 30 foot vertical tides. Boothbay Harbor is so small there is no place strong enough to dock this small ship, so we anchor and can get the 130 PAX to shore in two runs with the 60-person tender. It’s a great walking town. A coach ride to the Botanical Gardens is included. The weather has been great with cool, crisp evenings and mornings with low humidity and highs in the upper 70’s.
