I think we've found the cheapest lodging on Mount Desert Island. Only $20 for a 27 foot boat mooring in Northeast Harbor just below the very very expensive Asticou Inn (so expensive it's for the newly wed or the nearly dead). They provide great services for visiting boaters: showers, laundry nearby, supplies and of course good scenery. There is even a public dock on the Asticou/Thuya garden side of the harbor where we left our dingy and could access the hiking trails. We've both spent big chunks of time here on MDI so know my way around pretty well. We took full advantage of it by spending Saturday hiking up over Penobscot Mountain, swimming in Seargent Pond and visiting the Jordan Pond House. There wasn't much wind on the water so we didn't miss much, but it was finally a bright sunny day.
This was the eastern goal of our trip and it sure took some effort to get here. I never thought I would visit MDI by sailboat, and I must say it feels great.
