Somes Sound (Mt. Desert Island Day #2)

Just a quick post for the second paddle Ben and I did in Mt. Desert Island a couple weekends ago!


Date: July 16th, 2010
Distance: 16.3 miles

We paddled north from Southwest Harbor into Somes Sound, riding the tide on the way in, and paddling a little bit against it on the way back. We stopped for lunch in Sargent Cove on the east side of the sound.

 Yum, mussels! Sadly we only found empty shells.

 This is paradise!

On the way back, a thick fog seemed to be rolling in from the ocean, so rather than paddling around the island at the end of the sound, we headed back into the harbor.
