The food was great , the conversations very satisfying . Deer Island was reached solely by a simple but fascinating car ferry set up . Ted and I explored the main roads of the 7 mile long mostly wooded island , ate at one of the few businesses and spent some extended time in a quiet cove of cold clear water and a cool close - by cliff . We spent an equally quiet but fascinating time on a local wharf ; where I spent the entire time taking detailed pictures of the pier , boats , and gulls , and Ted sat on a bench soaking up the afternoon sun and dozing for 1/2 hour .

Question: What may have caused you to go into the businesses during your exploration ?
Answer: The businesses sold detailed pictures .We were checking out the local wharf .We wanted some water .We wanted a few meals .
