One of the best kept secret overnights around.

When in my area of Penobscot Bay, Camden and Rockport Harbors are poor choices for anchoring overnight. Most boats make a beeline for Gilkey Harbor or Cradle Cove off Islesboro or Pulpit Harbor on North Haven for good protection, both are around 6 to 8 NM away.
There is a closer spot. The one caveat: you must be absolutely sure the wind will stay out of the south while you're anchored here. Well protected in southerly winds and good holding.
But talk about the sunsetting from Pulpit Harbor or the absolute scenic beauty of Penobscot Bay, this spot is hard to beat. Lasell Island. The anchorage on the northern end is less than 4 miles from Camden Harbor. A near sister anchorage exists just north of here off Lime Island.
Little mention of this in the guide, I hope Curtis keeps it that way but for the savvy few who hunt this board, there's plenty of room to anchor in this beautiful spot.
