Mainely Maine

On a very foggy July 3rd morning, we headed over to Bailey Island to revisit Land's End.  The weather forecast had promised lifting fog that did happen for a short period of time and then the fog just rolled back into the bays.  Despite poor visibility, the lobstermen were out checking their traps early in the morning.
 At Land's End, this statue is a reminder of the hard work of the men who harvest these delectable creatures for our dining pleasure.
 Back down at Arnold's Point, the fog was beginning to lift and the harbor was bustling with people getting ready to head out for fishing or lobster harvesting.
 Up on the hill, some folks make other uses of their boats.
Non-Mainers are fascinated as they watch the lobstermen checking their traps.
Speaking of lobster traps--these rascals are easy in, impossible out.
Clearing skies--although this was short-lived.
We were happy to see that our favorite little lobster shack is still standing and even sporting a new roof.
Even though foggy conditions did hamper visibility, we still enjoyed another visit to this beautiful island.
