So after we arrived it turned into a dark and stormy night. It took us about 2 and half hours to get there after having left at about 4:15pm. Once getting the camper setup and the truck unloaded a drizzly rain arrived and we moved into the camper for the evening to have some supper and call it a day... not so fast. The rain had picked up considerably by the time we finished eating. Soon after hitting the sack the wind began playing havoc with the awning which seemed to threaten carrying the camper to Kansas. We each got up, dressed for the weather and went outside to rewind the awning up into it's travel position and that took care of the problem.Saturday morning arrived promising a fairly nice day. We had some breakfast, lounged around awhile reading then took a ride to nearby Belfast to walk around their downtown shops and visit the harbor area. Belfast is a great little place to wander around, the village area is quaint with a rustic touch.
This strange contraption allowed passerbys the opportunity to pedal with the motion of a fish. I passed, the old football injury was acting up.
A short distance from where this photo was taken was a outdoor fish shack. With seating available and we were able to have the dogs with us we sat down with a helping of fish and chips for each of us and a women working there brought out a small pail of water for the pups.
After leaving the village we stopped and bought some corn on the cob to go with supper and headed back to the campsite. Searsport Shores ocean frontage isn't a sandy beach or rocky coast. Its more of a access to tidal flow and easy access by kayak to the ocean. You're able to interact with the shoreline as the tide moves in and out. This makes the third time we've been here.

You could be in Devon: rain, campsites, and fish and chips.
That's true, we wouldn't mind trying it. The Mrs. would love tooling about the English countryside with one of those caravans. Next trip over may be to Wales but a stopover in Devon may be in order.
