August 11th Got the last stamp today for Acadia...

Got up early, rode 32 miles down to Southwest Harbor, got on the Cranberry Isle Ferry, at 10, then headed over to Islesford (Little Cranberry) island, arriving at 11-  Had 3 hours to kill on the island, since the boat had to leave, got the last stamp I needed for Acadia, at the Islesford Historical Museum.  

I passed the time talking with Bill the local lobsterman, who was taking the day off from fishing and working on his traps.  Had a wonderful conversation about lobstering in general- learned a lot!

On the way back, sat next to a gentleman and his wife, turned out they were residents of Beaufort SC!  He was a retired Episcopalian Minister, who knew Billy Keyserling-  small world!

Got back just ahead of the rain that has now come with vengeance.  Really raining hard and blowing as we write this---

 In other news, we made an executive decision today to get back to here in Sullivan 1 day early from Lubec, so Buster can revisit the vet to make sure he is on the mend.  He's got a bad ear infection, and the Vet said it was a real hard one to treat.  He's been a bit miserable the last week or so.  

I'm also rethinking a bit about the time we spend in Lubec to cut down a bit and not revisit so many places we've already been to.
