The Butter Island picnic was the first time I got off of the sofa after my hamstring injury. Stewart invited us along with his daughter Anna, and I was skeptical I'd even be able to get in the car for the trip to Pulpit Harbor. And then there was getting on and off of the boat. But I went for it and it turned out REALLY well.
At the picnic there just happened to be a physical therapist, and she worked on my leg and gave me some exercises. It was a miracle - by the end of the picnic I could walk and swim!
Remote island picnics are so 'Maine Vacation', and us folks living on the Thoroughfare side of the island generally do not go to the remote islands on the north side of the island. That's more something Stewart the rest of his crowd who live out by Pulpit Harbor do. From Pulpit Harbor it is a much shorter boat ride to the remote islands on the north side of the island.
It was a gorgeous day and a spectacular setting for a picnic.
