I LOVE the ‘Cranberry Islands‘ — off ‘Acadia‘ (& ‘Bar Harbor‘).

I would spend a LOT more time there IF not for the fact that you can only get to them by boat. Given that I (no longer) have a boat getting there gets ‘involved’.

I, of course, know & loved that STORE.

Right off the pier when you got off the Ferry. Also the BEST place to wait for the ferry. The last time we were there, 2019, we had lunch on the deck, waiting for the ferry.

This is devastating for the Island residents — though they, I have come to learn, are a hardy, resilient bunch. They will make do while they rebuild the store.

Maybe I should go spend some time on the Island in Spring. A thought. A good thought.
