First Visit to the Rope Swing

After bidding a fond farewell to Hazel, Addie and their parents, we headed off again on the boat bound for Quahog Bay and the rope swing!  We got underway at about 1:30 PM with BZ, WD, Ben, Megan and Alex aboard.  Both Alex and Megan got a chance to drive Whitecap on the way over.  We came up Ridley's Cove and across between Yarmouth Island and Bethel Point.  It was VERY hot!  Alex was, again, wet almost before the anchor was.  She swam over to the rope swing.  The tide was not ideal for using the swing, so she came back in order that Ben could go over and check it before she tried.  They both did a jump and decided it was okay, but not for much longer as the tide was going.

 Megan and Alex both had a wonderful time in the water and even Grampa took a dip! 

 Alex cut her knee on the swim platform and had to have first aid administered!

We finally hauled up the anchor at about 5:00 PM and headed back to the New Meadows.  We went back the long way.  Out Quahog Bay into Casco Bay and across to the New Meadows.  We arrived at Birch Point at 6:00 PM.  Alex and Ben put Whitecap to bed.  A good time was had by all.
