August 1 and 2: McGlathery Island to Camden

We moved over to McGlathery Island in Merchant Row and anchored for the night. I followed a pretty path through the woods across the island. On the other side, I met some people who told me it’s possible to walk all the way around the island – so I did. Definitely not one of my finest decisions as I hadn’t realized how far it is, and it involved scrambling over some steep rocks as well as bushwhacking through trees in some places. However, no harm was done and I returned to the boat safely.

Next day we motored back towards Camden and picked up a mooring in Sherman Cove. We enjoyed proper showers, and dinner at the newly rebuilt marina. Lyman Morse had a bad fire a few years ago and also had to rebuild some of their wharves; however the work is complete and the end result is excellent. Next day we had to do provisioning, cleaning and laundry ahead of friends joining us, so we had a busy morning.

We returned to the boat to a scene of carnage – an osprey had apparently used our dinghy as a perch from which to devour a fish. Our poor little dinghy was covered in bloods, guts and fish scales – ugh!! We love seeing Ospreys around, but they can certainly make a mess!
