17 miles / 27 km Pelletiers campground, St. John - Riverside Park, Fort Kent
Sunny
The final day. We woke to a misty morning and could not see the river. Got up slowly and were ready to go at 8.30.

The last portage |
 |
Norman had suggested that it would take us 5 hours to paddle the final 27 km to Fort Kent. We estimated less.
After the mist cleared, it was a fine sunny day to finish. It took us just over 3 hours to get to Fort Kent with the assistance of the current.

Fort Kent in sight |

Landing at the park was an anti-climax.

We moved the boat up to the NFCT board and asked a family lunching in the park to take our picture.

|
 |
We ate lunch ourselves and then tried to ring Norman. Still no signal with our phone but I asked one of the people seated in a truck eating lunch if we could borrow a phone to ring Norman. He obliged and within ½ hour we were loading our stuff into his van and saying goodbye to the Floating Dutchman.
