Progressive Dinner on Casco Bay/ Part 3

All of these islands are accessed only by ferry, so back we go to the boat for the third stop for the evening and our dessert.
This is the shortest of the three legs this time stopping at Peaks Island and dining at The Inn On Peaks Island. By now it is late and a little cold on the the water but we are welcomed with hot coffee (and most anything you want to put in it) and a delicious six inch high fresh strawberry short cake. Yum, Yum, Good.
This inn is known for doing weddings, however, the host informed us that there was only one date available. It was a Tuesday in October.
The last journey was about 15 minutes back to Portland. The sponsor of this trip was called Maine Foodie Tours.
Hoped you enjoyed the trip along with us.

Progressive Dinner on Casco Bay/ Part 2

After a brief tour of the Inn we are back on the boat and off to our next destination.
We enjoyed visiting with new friends and the beautiful sunset as we made our way to Diamond Cove on Big Diamond Island. Just a short walk from the boat landing we arrived at Diamond's Edge Restaurant. Here we had the main course, either Hake (a white fish), my choice, or a pork chop, Carol's choice. Both were excellent.
This building originally was the mess hall for Fort McKinley which was built to defend Casco Bay during the Spanish-American War. Check out the web site, this is really a neat place.

Progressive Dinner on Casco Bay/ Part 1

Friday June 3rd we embarked on a progressive dinner. We set sail from Portland out onto beautiful Casco Bay around 5 P.M. and returned around 11 P.M. In the meantime we visited three islands and enjoyed a course of the meal on each.
First stop was Great Chebeague Island, and the Chebeague Island Inn. This inn was built in the 1920s. This is the big yellow inn in the pictures. We enjoyed drinks and lobster bisque on the porch. It was Very Good!
The first picture is looking at the inn from the boat, them the stroll up the hill, Carol and the lilacs, the porch.
