The highlight was a very steep hike up Mount Battie with beautiful views of Camden Harbor and the Penobscot Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This late summer \/ early autumn weather is idyllic with crystal clear blue skies (when it&#8217;s not foggy), starry nights, warm days and cool but pleasant nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingtruenorth.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Nebo-Day-72.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1961 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>On Monday, we headed out into thick morning fog to make our way to Rockland, just a short hop down the coast, to do some provisioning.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Rockland isn&#8217;t as quaint as Camden, but rather a busy working port offering a full gamut of marine services for boaters of all kinds. It attracts cruisers needing fuel, water and provisions and it&#8217;s the port for the important Vinalhaven and North Haven ferries, serving residents and lobster fisherman on those two important islands in the middle of the Penobscot Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a Thai lunch (yes, you read right&#8230; one of the only restaurants open on Labor Day), we provisioned onshore, then headed back to relax at our mooring as the sun set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Happy Labor Day to our
