Golden Light

By


Good morning everyone. This has been a week filled with the golden light of beautiful sunrises and sunsets. And as the cameras clicked away I could see the filling of hearts with the warming glow of memories that will last a lifetime. How cool is that? It is the intent to share these precious moments that makes these naturalist/photography cruises some of my favorites. Jim Dugan often coaches us to not get too focused on the sunset in front of us while missing the golden glow of light reflected on the objects behind us. Isn’t that a wonderful metaphor for what we share with each other every day, getting so wrapped up with what is in front of us without recognizing how we are touching those all around us.

Have a great day. Be well. Do good.

We have sailed aboard the Mary Day 4 times now. Every trip is awesome. How can I say wich is best?
Jim Dugan's photo class was wonderful, Eric of Hog Island was great, but Cara's cooking was just amazing.
OK, Barry and the crew made the trip the best.

Hail Mary

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.
