Big Skies in Maine

Good morning everyone. We enjoyed a noon time picnic yesterday with big blue skies overhead. I had never been to this particular beach before. You can see why it might get a little crowded in mid-summer. We sailed off shore yesterday out around Isle Au Haut looking for pelagic birds. Gannets were everywhere diving from great heights into the water. Ouch! Made my head ache just to look at them. We could see showers passing off in the distance and big clouds made up over the land. The rainbow was just the icing on the cake. And the clouds billowing up over Robinson Pt Light reminded me that it is all about the light.

Have a great day. Be well. Do good

We used to joke about how we liked things just the way they are, thank you very much, so why change what is working already even if it might be less labor intensive. Hard works is its own reward.

A Beautiful Sight

By
During one of our 6 day cruises in July 2010 I was up early one morning and caught a neat reflection of this good looking schooner in Great Cove off Brooklin, Maine. It is one of the loveliest schooners with a graceful sweeping sheer that goes on forever and lovely douglas fir spars that receive a good scraping and slushing every fall. I am a sucker for a beautiful windjammer. OK, you schooner experts out there. Which windjammer is it? Have a great day. Be well. Do good.
