Camden Windjammer Festival

Lyman Morse Mooring
We’ve had a beautiful week in Camden and we’ve enjoyed starting our morning sitting in the flybridge watching the harbor come alive. What an amazing view and today was the best day of all. We had a front row seat, as the harbor got ready to receive some of the most magnificent ships in the area. Camden Harbor is home to ten windjammers…you can take a two-hour cruise or sail out of the harbor for a week. The day cruises came and went all day, but the bigger schooners began filling the harbor round noon. Many of the older ships have no engines and they were maneuver into place by small push boats and dinghies. It’s the largest gathering of schooners in North America.

“Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears.” —Les Brown

Camden has been called the windjammer capital of the world and every Labor Day weekend, they hosts the Windjammer Festival to celebrate its maritime heritage. From the great age of sail when coasting schooners were launched in the harbor, through the birth of the windjammer business in the 1930s, to today’s windjammer fleet and elegant yachts, sailing ships have always defined the vibrant community of Camden. Throughout the day on Friday, Schooners from around Maine will sail in and dock in the harbor. According to the festival website 25 boats are scheduled to arrive…it should be a spectacular site.

Risk more than others think is safe.
Care more that other think is wise.
Dream more than others this is practical.
Expect more that others think is possible. – Claude T. Bissel
Camden without doubt is one of the most scenic harbors in Maine where the mountains come right down to the ocean. Mount Battie forms the backdrop for this stunning harbor and three of Camden’s largest windjammers dock at the head of the harbor putting the crowning touch on creating a postcard perfect sight.

Facheux Harbour

Facheux Harbour is the longest, at about ten miles, and deepest fjord on the south coast of Newfoundland. Surprisingly, a good anchorage is at the head in 45ft. The steeply-sloped sides make shore access difficult, but we did find a track to the top, complete with climbing ropes. Trip highlights from Aug 19th follow. Click…

Pushthrough

The first permanent settlers inhabited Pushthrough, at the mouth of Northern Arm, in 1812. The population reached 209 by 1884 and peaked at 247 in 1961. Between 1966 and 1968, a third of the 50 families relocated and the entire community resettled in 1969. Much has been written about the negative impacts of the resettlement…
