Zeke at a Lobster Bake

Good morning everyone. The weather continues to bless us with sunny days and clear nights. We had a brief fireworks show Tuesday night as a cold front passed off the coast. Last night we sat on deck telling "Zeke" stories and counting shooting stars. The annual Perseid meteor showers peak tonight so get out and watch the magic.

We enjoyed a wonderful picnic yesterday afternoon in the shade on a sand/shell beach surrounded by pink granite and a wonderful view of Mt Desert and the schooner. Zeke went a little crazy at the limbo contest. I am not sure we should have let him try a sip of whine. He was a regular party animal (?vegetable?). There are some photos I just can't share... this being a family vacation after all. Zeke and I will have a long heart to heart today. If he plans on making it 'til the end of the cruise he really needs to clean up his act. I will also tell you that he was involved in a bit of a scandal when he suddenly disappeared, replaced by a ransom note. He was discovered in the hand bag of one of our lady guests. Fingers were pointing everywhere. She said... he said... the truth is muddled by rumor and innuendo. Thankfully Zeke will live to enjoy another beautiful day sailing the coast of Maine.

Have a great day. Be well. Do good.

That last photo of the schooner and Mt. Desert (presumably) in the background has such beautiful lighting and colors. I want to go back for another cruise! I'll bring a couple of tomatoes for Zeke to play with.

That last picture with the Mary Day light by sun peeking between clouds and Mt. Desert in the background has such beautiful colors and light. Makes me want to go back for another cruise. I'll bring a couple of cute tomatoes for Zeke.

Hail Mary

By
My heart is heavy with sadness as I write this particular blog. Since the beginning of August our dear friend and cook for the last 12 years, Mary Barney, had been struggling with cancer. I have intentionally respected Mary’s privacy and I apologize to you for not sharing any news about Mary’s health sooner. On Monday afternoon Mary passed away very peacefully at home, surrounded by friends and “family”. Her departure was as graceful as the rest of her life. Many people, including Jen, have been doing heroic work to support Mary these last few weeks. Oddly enough Mary was never very excited about transitions though this was about the fastest transition she ever made. And as I struggle to let go of Mary I realize I am terrible with transitions as well. 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. I used to joke about getting Mary a Cui...

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.
