This week, we continued our cruise up the coast of Maine, port-hopping as we headed north. We started the week in Kennebunkport, stopped in Portland and Boothbay Harbor, and ended in Camden. In all, we cruised 124 miles this week. We’ve had great weather when traveling, rain and hail when in port! We visited Trolls in the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, and Puffins on Eastern Egg Island!

This week was all about coming home to New Hampshire, the 13th state on our trip. We had a great time visiting with family and friends and exploring what had changed in one of our favorite towns, Portsmouth. We stayed put for the week, so only traveled 25 miles. Brenda took a bit of a tumble when she slipped on a wet dock, our first injury of the trip.

From Plymouth, we went to Boston! Another must-visit town on our return to New England. While we were in Boston, my Nephew David and his family visited us! We hope to see more of our family and old friends while we are in the area. We had a weather delay while in Boston, with 7-foot waves and 30-mph winds just offshore, but made up the time and ended the week in Newburyport after spending a few days in Gloucester, MA. We traveled 105 miles this week but didn’t add any more states to our list.
