The base for our post cards is the image. From time to time we have a story but, lacking a compelling image, we do nothing. An image with a story is ideal. We have our image. At least I do. This bench is a dear favorite of mine – that’s my bench. And there’s a […]

The Morning After
All that is left for most windjammer guests to do is to enjoy the morning and pack. Logic would dictate that the parade be on Saturday until one realizes many windjammer cruises turn over on Saturday. So it’s a quiet lovely final morning for the crews and those up early. And early it is. This […]
Windjammer Parade
Where would we be if tourist marketing types didn’t create hyped up events in order to attract attention? In this case the windjammer association stages a yearly jam in at Rockland, a windjammer parade. Mid afternoon windjammers come in to parade past the harbor’s light at the end of a long jetty. They spend the […]
What We Like
. . . about Maine. There is always another – island with a light, rocky cape also with a light on it, work boat or two showing off color and activity, backdrop of interesting light, fog bank to change the world, harbor to poke into – and another. Click on image for larger view.

Long Range Wifi
We’ve all struggled with grabbing, and holding WiFi signals while cruising outside the States. While in the Abacos this year, Annie and I tried a new device called the Wirie. All I can say is – It works. We never found ourselves without a sol…
First Light
First light, first day, first stop in Maine. Potts Harbor, Harpswell. Why here? Most importantly because we could see to come in. Last year we didn’t see Maine at all until hours after we anchored. We came in under white out fog conditions picking a relatively pot float free cove as our anchorage. Potts Harbor […]
Brunswick, GA to New York City (May 11 to July 7, 2011)
We stayed in Brunswick a little over a week doing boat chores and visiting friends. Upon our arrival we learned that our favorite downtown restaurant – Cargo – had closed. The food was always great and we enjoyed catching up with owners Jayson and Ch…
Love That Fog
Back when we were just talking about returning to Maine this summer, I commented on our sense of anticipation. “I look forward to getting back to fog.” This confirmed my status as being more than a bit off center. Fog is marvelous. Yes, it does mess with one’s mind. The thought of not being able […]
The Party’s Over
The party’s over. Time to strike the set, take down holiday decorations and move on. Indeed the big slug of mega yachts that apparently was in for the start of the Trans-Atlantic Race have been filtering out of Newport Harbor all week. And so will we – off to Maine. It has been a pleasant […]
