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 [...]

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 [...]

Left the tranquility of little Bucks Harbor for a leisurely passage through Eggemoggin Reach. I’m thinking about E.B. White (Stuart Little, Charlotte’s Web, and so much more) and his saltwater farm, not far from here. We saw him on his doorstep there, while scouting his neck of the woods with Mom and Dad many [...]
Off the pier!

After several days of cleaning, provisioning and moving our stuff aboard, we threw off our lines this morning and headed out for a month or so of living on the water. The seas were calm, the sun was shining and Taylor not only didn’t throw up, he stayed in the pilot house instead of cowering [...]
