The local pond is now at “ice out.” This is a view from our nearby inlet from almost a month ago.
This is a view from about two months ago. There is brown contaminants in this pond and in other spots.
We are hoping to resume our updates as the weather moderates. The status of ice is shown below (from about a week ago).
We briefly visited the Kennebec river in Bath, Maine, this week. Along the downtown river park, a replica of the oldest sea-going ship built in North America (if you ignore the possible construction of boats by the Norse or Vikings) rests at the museum dock. The Virginia was built by English almost colonists about 1607, at Popham at the mouth of the Kennebec on the Gulf of Maine, about 15 miles to the south.
We have posted of visits to this before but updates are always fun. The boat is awaiting permission from the Coast Guard to take visitors on tours.
