Approach
to Frenchboro from the east Last year we anchored in East Cove thinking that the harbour was too
tight for us. This year we decided to go and take a look and we are delighted
that we did. The harbour, Lunt’s Harbor, currently has a good number of
large white buoys laid by the Corps of Engineers with large granite blocks and
good up to date ground tackle. They are also free on a first come basis. We
took one at the outer edge of the harbour to allow enough room to swing with
the tide.
This is the view from Lunt’s Lobster Deli where we showed our
gratitude for the mooring by eating on our first evening. Caduceus is the
white blob, still illuminated by the sun as it goes down behind the headland. Our position in the
harbour also had the advantage that we benefited from some spectacular sunsets
denied to the inner moorings.
The island has some marked trails and is a delightful spot if all you
want is quiet, good scenery (almost alpine), walking, lobster and more lobster.

into the harbour from Caduceus We are now going to sit out a few days, enjoy the island and allow a
front to pass through with associated fog and higher winds. |
