With the end of the summer approaching, we wanted to get up to Maine one last time and spend some time out on the water. We had a full day to ourselves on Sunday, so we decided to take the boat out for a bit of an adventure to Jewell Island. Once we had navigated to the island, anchored the boat, and successfully made it to shore, we began by exploring the Punchbowl, a very large tide pool on the north eastern end of the island.
From there we continued south. Jewell was used for military purposes during World War II, and some of the structures are still visible today. We explored one of the old fire towers, a bunker, as well as some run down buildings before heading back to the harbor area on the west side of the island. It is certainly one of the most interesting islands I have spent time on in Casco Bay.
