Somesville, Maine on MDI

Seal Harbor, Maine

We had a nice visit with Bentley today in Southwest Harbor. While he hoisted Steve up the mast for some repairs Nana took us to the beach and the grocery store to re-provision for our next leg of the journey...Thank you also to Bob Rubadeau for the wonderful "send off meal" at Red Sky. He was able to give us invaluable cruising information about the Buzzards Bay area. It got us salivating to head south!

A nice foggy day treat!


I can't believe they are swimming! Brrrrrrr!

A real summer day!

Cape Split, Maine

Kirsten's first sail in a true Nor'Easter.

We had the kids return to Franklin with Nana while Steve and I worked our way back to MDI.

Beyond the terenchal rains, 4-6 foot sea swells, pea soup fog, getting struck by a 10 foot tree trunk, and almost losing the dinghy because of an internal leak, we did just fine! Steve laughs, but I called it the "Ill-fated Day".
