I’m WAY behind on the blogging – so although from this last entry it looks like our trip lasted a month (and that was our intention) -it’s over. We cut the trip short when Bill started making his way up the coast. So, our last port of call was sparkling Boothbay Harbor. We picked up [...]

I have been messing around with text for awhile and can’t seem to get it lined up with the appropriate pictures – so I’m just going to let the pictures tell the tale. With the introductory note that Taylor began the trip sitting in his bed in the pilot house instead of cowering in the [...]

It’s a more interesting harbor name than we’ve seen recently (Northeast, Southwest, or the obvious family names) but we’ve forgotten the history to this one. It turns out there’s no burning of a coat involved. (Sad for me, I was imagining all kinds of exciting scenarios.) Evidently the name is a translation/then anglicization of [...]

I find this place hard to describe. Not geographically- the island’s about 8 miles out to sea off Mt. Desert Island, although it’s certainly worlds away from Bar Harbor. It’s remote, simple and unspoiled, one of the dwindling number of islands in Maine with a year-round (about 70 people) population. It’s breathtakingly beautiful. That [...]
Southwest Harbor, Maine

For almost thirty years we’ve been cruising up the coast to NORTHEAST Harbor. Sometimes we detour up Somes Sound (again, on this trip). On other occasions (like wanting to see fireworks on Christopher’s 4th of July birthday) we’ve picked up a mooring or pier space in Bar Harbor. In a [...]
On a mooring in Northeast Harbor, Maine

And once we get onto this mooring, we just don’t let go. What we think is going to be a 2-3 night stay turns into 6. We take it day by day, hailing the mooring agent when they make their rounds on the water each morning. Another night please… It’s not [...]
