We were up early and had a very delicious party pancake breakfast with Tom, Tiffanie & Adeline. The maple syrup we used was Tom' home made syrup that he tapped from his own trees and is really good. Sat outside and talked then took on the task of closing up the MH for travel. Everything went smoothly except for, of course, the leveling jacks. They have been causing problems for some time now but are getting worse. Will definitely need to address them when we get back home.
We left Limington at Noon. It was an uneventful drive but longer then we had anticipated. We arrived in Belfast at 3 pm. Once here we settle in to site 43 for the week. We had tried to secure a spot on the water but there were none available.

It was a quiet night here and we slept really well. This morning we took Kasey for a walk on the beach. She really enjoys the beach and jumping in the water. We met some very nice people from Connecticut and walked with them and their dog. Mickey. Kasey and Mickey got along just fine, at least for today. LOL
We enjoyed spending the day sitting by the camper enjoying the views of the ocean. That night Ron put the light sensor in the toilet that Tiffanie had given us. It was promoted on Shark Tank and is pretty cool for night time bathroom visits. It even changes colors. Thanks Tiffanie!

We spent another leisurely day sitting around our site enjoying the good weather. Kasey has found herself a great spot under the picnic bench much like Jewel did, expcept she likes a blanket to prop herself on.
We did have to run out to get new bulbs for the light over the sink today , but other then that we stayed put.
Walking the beach is very calming and we did that at least four times today. It is not a beautiful beach but a typical Maine rocky beach that fits our needs.
Ron got into trouble today with the guy that maintains the property and also the manager. There is a specified dog walking area that we have been bringing Kasey to. Today Ron went up on the hill a little further then he was suppose to and was reprimanded by the lawn guy. There were some words and the lawn guy called the manager. Ron and I have seen multiple people walk their dogs on the grass up the hill but Ron is the only one that was called out for it. The management team is new and their rules have rules. Ron did mention to the manager that all day the lawn guy has been watering the flowers with the truck used to pump septic systems. It is very loud and the guy ran that thing for over two hours. This is our third time here and the only time we have felt uncomfortable. The people we met on the beach told us that there was a note left on their door telling them to move their mat because it was on the grass. As I said, new, intense management.

It was a cool night and great sleeping weather. This morning it started out dreary but cleared and the sun came out.
I was doing laundry this morning and was in the bedroom when I was overcome with a rancid sewage smell. I could hear water running and thought our new washer had somehow malfunction or our septic system had overflowed. After checking inside I noticed that the smell and pouring water was coming form the MH to the left of us. The couple just bought the MH and their balck water tank backed up and the waste was coming out of the vent on the roof of he MH. YUCK! They were frantic. Ron went over to try to help them but to no avail They have a big blockage issue and need to have it professionally fixed. This is only their second trip out and they have already destroyed their awning and put a huge scrape in the side of the MH. They have a huge learning curve ahead of them.
We took a ride into downtown Belfast hoping to spend some time at the Farmer's Market. Unfortunately it was closed. Instead we walked along the ocean and enjoyed looking at the boats and yachts.
We walked through the boat yard and saw a beautiful sailboat being repaired.
On our way back through the boatyard we stopped at an ice cream shop and had some great ice cream. Ron had some weird banana monkey nut ice cream that he actually liked. I stuck to a more conventional brownie nut chocolate ice cream.
We walked around town and stopped into a shoe store where Ron picked up a pair of new Teva sandals. It is a small quaint town with some old , pretty structures.
On the way home we stopped at Perry's Nuthouse hoping to get some fudge or anything bad to eat. LOL We each got a sample of fudge and determined that was all we needed. No nuts or fudge bought today. BUT - we did have to get a picture of Ron with a statue! LOL
We went for a ride and checked out some of the smaller local towns. Then it was back home to enjoy the rest of the evening. We thought about taking a ride to Bar Harbor but have been there too many times so opted out. The same for Acadia. Not sure what tomorrow will bring but probably more of the same.
