The sun sets as we finally round up into the New Meadows River:
We continue sailing into the night as we tack up the New Meadows River and Quahog Bay by the light of the moon (and a good GPS & radar). This was one of the best sailing runs of the year - about 72nm of beautiful close in coastal sailing in ideal conditions.

Ok - where is my lobster?
Beal's Lobster Pier:
Lobstering is a way of life here:
"Yes, we just got in and I just got off the boat"
"Got the pots off --- what do you think?"
Proudly flying despite hard times:
An apartment ON the water:
