The Fourth of July

Our apologies - there's not been a lot of blogging recently but we've been so pleasently busy exploring marvelous Maine and meeting so many great people.

Today was July 4th, so America parties for Independence Day, and we find ourselves in the gorgeous St George River at the little town of Tomaston. We are the only visiting boat here, on a river mooring amoung a few local boats and a very high quality boatyard, we are made to feel as welcome as welcome could be.

We went up to town today for the parade, then had some quality playground time, BBQ chicken and finished off with face painting before returning to the boat for a drink with some new friends who live on the waterfront here, then back into town for the fireworks.

All great fun and we are really enjoying being in the USA, and loving it here in Maine. We'll write some more soon.
