(This photo is of our arrival at the Islesford Dock.)Can you believe it? The water was like glass the whole way. It was such a beautiful ride and I loved every second of it. The Mail Boat is just that - the Captain, a few passengers and the day's bin of mail. It was really neat to be a part of their daily routine. At one point I called over the wind to the Captain, "Where's Martha Stewart's house?" and he pointed out the long narrow roofline within the trees on the oposite shore.
We stayed on the island a few hours after the last mail boat run, so we hired a water taxi (the boat was named "Delight!") to take us back to northeast harbor. We ripped through the dark open waters on a gorgeous starry night - it is an evening I will never forget.
I've enlarged a portion of the main picture (below) so that you can see "Delight" tied up at the dock.

The boat was named "Delight"? It was meant to be, Anne!!
Yes, she could not believe it when I told her. It was a delightful night to be out on the water, too. The most beautiful weather - truly!
