Rain or shine, the mail is on time.

Our first (and only) full day in Portland started with a trip on the ‘Mail Boat’

This is the boat that operates in Casco Bay and ferries people and mail (mostly Amazon packages!) between the islands.

A cool, slightly rainy, and very foggy day gave everything an enhanced aura of mystery.
It reminded us immediately of the last time we were on a boat between islands in a bay. It was foggy as well!

Some excellent research was done prior to embarking and thus we were prepared with enough provisions to have a lunch of wine and charcuterie.

An excellent way to experience this part of the Maine coastline.

The one and only ‘Puffin’ we saw on the trip.

Leaving the dock was not that fast in reality.

Me heart will go on for retired Jack and Rose.
