Boston, MA-Portland, ME

A mostly overnight cruise at 15 MPH through millions of lobster trap floats, often within six feet of the ship's path. We enjoyed a coach narrated tour and many famous sites including the most-photographed lighthouse in the US...Portland Head Lighthouse. Interesting that they run the foghorn 24/7 in bright daylight with unlimited visability. very impressive rocky beaches meet mostly pine forests. We walked the town for several miles and enjoyed more gormet meals and after dinner seminars. There's live music (not too loud) from 8:30-9:30 PM. Most of this crowd including us are in bed soon after that (but up at dawn). The parks are gorgeous. This is the only location in the US where you can see five different lighthouses from one spot. It's a complex navigation path into the Portland breakwater and Casco Bay. The Portland Head Lighthouse is the most photographed in the US. Interesting how they run the foghorn 24/7, even on bright days with unlimited visibility.Read more
