Camp Ellis (Mouth of Saco River) ME

We left Portland on a beautiful day. The winds were light 0-5 Kts but the sea swell made it a "rolly" trip. At times we'd see 10 foot swells left-over from Bill, it reminded me of a kiddie roller coaster vs. chop. Upon entering the mouth of the Saco River we were unable to find good anchorage. After some general motoring about we decided to stop at the town dock and ask where to put Hook for the night. The HarborMaster at Camp Ellis asked us "How were the seas?" Steve replied, "Not bad really." He went on to say, "Tying up for the night is $60 so let me ask you again, how were the seas?...." Steve said, "The ocean was angry, we nearly died out there." "Given your here for safe harbor then, lets call it $30" he said. What a deal!
