Stormy Weather


Good morning everyone . I am sitting here watching from the town landing in Camden at the height of yet another Patriots Day weekend storm. The harbor is feather white with spray blowing off the tops of the waves. The schooner is rocking and rolling. Hang on tight Auntie Em... You too Toto. Power is out at the global headquarters and trees are down all over the place

I hope the cover hangs on through the day. Stay safe in your world. Be well. Do good.

I used to joke about getting Mary a Cui...

A Beautiful Sight

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.
