Brenda and I drove to Portland. Went to the waterfront area and walked around. Pretty nice. They have done a commendable job of revitalization. Many small shops, places to eat, a fish and lobster (or is it lobstah) store, nice folks and great weather. It was hotter today in Portland than it was in Miami!

Our next stop was Freeport, home of LL Bean. Big store, actually about five big stores make up the complex. Then back to Brunswick for the night.

Dave and Linda Power invited us to a cookout at their house in Phippsburg. A number of FOSI Board members were there as well as some past caretakers. Many stories were told. Not sure just how many of these stories ever made it into the logbooks... but they were quite entertaining! Final plans were made to meet tomorrow morning to get our stuff out to the island.

This was another hot day with temps in the mid 80's.
