Oh, the fog. Pea soup fog. Rolling into Camden. One moment you could see across the mooring field, the next you could only see the boat ahead of you. We kept waiting and waiting, and finally decided to take a chance and go. We got out the fog horn and crept out of the harbor along with a few other brave souls in the mini cruise.

Trip & Mads

It’s always eery going along in the fog, but we had an easy enough trip. The only thing I was concerned with was Seal Bay itself – it’s a bit of a labyrinth to wind your way into and I had no desire to do it in fog. Luckily the fog lifted as we passed through the Fox Haven Thoroughfare and it was an easy run into Seal Bay. We dropped anchor and joined the cocktail party in full swing on Grayce and Gemeaux (a 44 ft catamaran). We later found out they had flown a drone to get an aerial shot of all the boats at anchor. I normally hate drones, but when we’re part of the subject in the photo it’s rather fun. To finish the evening, Klaus & Katrin invited us and Looma IV onboard Saphir for an additional drink to wind down the night.

Good thing we brought along an extra line for a really really really long tie up….

We knew there was a hiking trail, so the next morning Mads picked us up and we headed over like Lewis & Clark to explore and report back to the rest of the boats. We found the trail and had a lovely walk with multiple pretty views of the anchorage, with the only downside being low tide and lots of thick black mud that we had to walk through to get to shore (though women pay big money for these mud treatments in spas these days).
