Eastport, Maine

We left Rangeley for Eastport, Maine which took a little longer than we had anticipated due to the travel on some smaller, rougher roads. The campground is the Seaview which is on the Bay of Fundy facing Campobello Island to the west on the other side of the bay. Our site overlooked some of the other RVs and the water. It was a very nice and quiet campground with a very nice owner that gave us lots of information when we checked in. They were having a bring a dish the next night and a poker thing of some sorts the night after. We didn't participate, but others looked like they were having a good time. It seemed that many were seasonal campers.

Our site was very unlevel, but David backed up the MH a little farther up the hill and that helped a lot, although we were still downhill a bit. It was cool and rainy and we were both hungry and wet. Even though it was about 4:30 we decided to go eat since we had not had any lunch and we were starving. The lady at the CG office suggested for dinner the Eastport Chowder House. Evidently there aren't a lot of choices in this town. 1 for breakfast, 1 for lunch and 1 for dinner. LOL. Finding the place was a bit tricky even though it seems everything is on Water Street. Everything is on the water and the fog was extremely thick. We couldn't see across the bay. This sailboat was moored off the restaurant dock. We had heard that this town has big Pirate Festivals here--actually one next week and this dock could hold a LOT of Pirates.
               

                                         They even had some of their Pirate flags flying.

              This bright yellow Thunderbird was parked out front and it was in great shape and freshly painted.

The restaurant only had a few people in there because we were so early, but there was a group of locals, most likely fishermen having a big discussion in the bar area. I finally broke down and order lobster and it was excellent.

David had his favorite--fried Haddock and sweet Maine shrimp and it was good as well.

The clam chowder was done just right, thick and creamy. YUM

We went back to the MH after dinner to relax. Tomorrow is another day.
