North Haven

July 6

Heading out of Buck's Harbor it became obvious that the fog down Eggemoggin Reach was pretty thick and would not thin until the change of the tide, so we went down East Penobscot Bay, along the east side of the Havens and on into the Fox Island Passage. On the west end of the passage stands an enormous granite monument. We threaded our way through lobster pots and other traffic to pick up a mooring at J. O. Brown and Sons.

We met Foy Brown over in Rockland last year, and ran into him again this year. It was another Brown running the store the day we were there. We did see Foy out putting in traps in the late afternoon. Quite restful on the mooring even with the guys who want to go really fast and make great wakes. Fiddler mostly ingnores them if they come in on the bow. We only feel the ones that catch us on the side.
