HOW TO NAVIGATE THIS BLOG:


We enjoy sharing our lifestyle with our family, friends, and others. So COME ON OUT and "let's get on with it". You only have an opportunity to live once. For those of you who do not choose to get away, feel free to travel vicariously via this blog.

This is primarily a blog of photographs, of our travels. Our blogging time is limited by our activities, so we figure a photograph is worth a thousand words. You may click on the photos to enlarge them.

There is only one Post per page. You can access earlier posts by clicking on the link below and to the right, or by going to the "archive" which is found below the current post.

The "Relevant Links" will take you to sites showing our current location, the weather conditions that we are experiencing, some of our favorite ports of call, and information related to our boat. When using the SPOT link, to see where we are, click on "satellite" tab to get a photo of the area (takes a while to load).

If you must have more then you may also follow the links to our "Earlier Blogs".

Enjoy

Bucks Harbor to Quahog Bay, Maine

Thursday, September 27th, 2012

As the day begins at Bucks Harbor, the clouds associated with a cold front move out:

 
The first colors of autumn are evident along the shore:


A windjammer heads down Penobscot Bay, past Camden, towards Rockland:

 
Another windjammer bound for Rockland, heads out of Pulpit Harbor

 
A outline of a cloud casts a shadow over the autumn colors on the Camden hills:


Owls Head Light - just outside of Rockland:

 
A sharp looking vessel transporting crates of lobster from an out-island to the mainland:


Tow Bush Island Light:


Cottage on an out-island:

The rocky south coast of Burnt Island:


 
Muscongus Bay:

 
HO Island (off of Boothbay) - atop of the island there stands a chimney - all that remains of a former house:

The shore along the backside of Boothbay:

 
More rocks:


One of the few sailboats sailing just outside Boothbay:

 
Seguin Island Light:




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.
