The Basin is a special place. To get there, you look for a small opening in the rocky, tree covered coast line of Phippsburg that no larger boat could conceivably enter. Yet, enter we did. The shore was only a few feet away as we snaked through the cutout until things opened up. Suddenly one gets the feeling that they are on a lake in the Adirondacks. There is no sign of open water and the shoreline is treed right down to the water through all 360 degrees around. Only a few homes are visible. A small collection of other boats were either anchored or moored.
The next morning we took the dinghy to shore and hiked a trail to the closest road. Our motivation for doing this was to find a 7 acer lot that is for sale. The plot has frontage on The Basin - a sailors dream come true. The catch is that there is no electricity service and it isn't practical to bring it in anytime in the foreseeable future. Are we up to the challenge of living completely off the grid?
Not if you want us to visit! Don't answer that!
