Captain Taylor telling us all about the boat and the do's and don'ts while onboard

Haven't set sail yet but love the atmospheric light of the sun coming through the clouds

Here we go, just leaving the mooring and the sun is coming out 😃

Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse - will be walking there this afternoon

Close up of Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse

Owls Head Lighthouse, constructed in 1825 and rebuilt in 1852

Lots of harbor seals around this morning. Just popping up all over the place

Lots of lobster buoys in the water around the coast. Getting closer to the coast again.

ME - Sailing Penobscot Bay

September 27, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

Well, we have been driving and walking around Penobscot Bay. It's time to look at it from a different angle.

Very calm sea this morning but with apparently enough breeze for a good sail. Still a little overcast but the ☀️ is trying to make it through.

Spent a couple of hours sailing along the coast and around some islands. Saw lots of harbor seals, a few eagles flying over head, some loons and lots of lobster pot buoys

Apparently lobster like cooler water, so in the main season the lobster pots have to be much further our at sea. Now, with the water getting colder, they are closer to the shore again. But lobster season is coming to an end anyway.

And I haven't tried one yet 🤷Read more
