June 27-28
Rockland is more of a working town and a lot less touristy. We did visit two museums and the Puffin Project sponsored by the Audobon Society. The Sail Power and Steam Museum is a small museum started by Captain Jim Sharp, who is quite a character. He is a one man show who seems to run everything there. For a “donation” you get a potable DVD player that you follow along as Captain Sharp describes what you are seeing and adds in his own stories. It was quite a hoot. The Lighthouse Museum wasn’t quite as good but had some interesting exhibits. We did have a good seafood meal and was able to borrow the loaner car at the marina to make a Walmart run. Even though it rained most of the time, we did manage to get some walking in. Overall, a nice visit and a great marina.
