Saturday was a glorious day and we were going to make the most of it.
We set out early with a plan: On the boat at 9:00. Head out to Fort Gorges to explore for an hour or so, then get back on the boat, fish a little; find a sandy beach to romp on, have lunch, swim and head home before it gets too hot. Perfect!
9:15 arrival at Fort. Picture perfect morning.
We anchored and set out to explore:
Fort Gorges is a very cool place in the middle of Casco Bay. The boys love it.
We found new nooks and crannies and spent quite a bit of time looking around.
Finally deciding to move on with our day...When...
Umm... Houston?
We have a problem...
When the tide goes out, leaving you marooned, there's nothing you can do but make the most of what you've got and wait it out until it comes back.Six.Hours.Later.
so
we
did
This is what makes my boat float.Thank God we were prepared. We had sunscreen, snacks and lunch and shovels and pails and a cooler full of cold beer. What more could anyone need?
