<\/a> <\/p>\nIt was a little foggy when we departed Winter Harbor but as we rounded the tip of Mt Desert Island we were rewarded with just a bit of clearing which made view a little more beautiful and more importantly good visibility to get into North Eastern Harbor.<\/p>\n Normally the tides in NEH run about 8 feet but in this part of the moon cycle it has been closer to 12 feet\u2026that is A LOT of water as you can see. The dock ramp will tilt in the opposite direction at high tide!!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Annette selfie at Jordon Pond<\/a> @ Acadia National Forest.<\/a><\/p>\n LL Bean Company sponsors a public Bus System (http:\/\/www.exploreacadia.com\/<\/a>) that provides transportation on Mt Desert Island and around Acadia National Forest.
