Wednesday the 15th

We woke up Wednesday morning to a BRIGHT sunrise at 5:15am. Take a look at the pictures to see how beautiful the area is both from the ground and the air. Since the weather was so nice and the rain was supposed to hold off until the evening, we decided to fly up to Eastport for lunch. We departed Bar Harbor and flew up the coast with Jim pointing out all the point of interest along the way. Thanks Jim for the history and geography lessons along the way.

We arrived in Eastport in formation and attracted some attention. We parked the airplanes on the ramp and there was no one around… for a few minutes. A vehicle came roaring up and out popped the couple. Mary and Pete Repole introduced themselves. Mary is the current Chairperson of the City Council. They saw us fly over form the house and they came right over to the airport.

They offered take us into Eastport and recommended a lunch spot. They were really interested in the airplanes and our trip. Mary called the local paper and had them come out and take our pictures and do an article on our trip. We requested copies The Quoddy Tides. We can also see the paper online.

After a good lunch Mary and Pete took us back to the airport and we returned to Bar Harbor for our second night.

Here are some shots of the day.
