Day 8
Shouty yachting and luxy boating
July 30, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
Day 2 Maine cont. - Ben's high level networking resulted in some millionaire afternoon water sports all round. Crispin went on Mark's limited edition, vintage wooden Maine dingy as his crew for some races. After sabotaging the first race by failing to securely attach the main halyard, Crispin went on to relative glory, achieving second last place in the second race.
Meanwhile, the rest of us took the deluxe motorboat option with Robyn, Diane, Max and his lovely girlfriend, Amarita. We followed the race, swam off the boat, drank rose and saw some seals. A fantastic way to see the gorgeous Maine coast and a wonderful day.
Although Crispin went AWOL and missed the drinks party in Bath after his phone stopped working causing much concern. We left early but not before squeezing in some valuable networking with the charmingly erudite and fabulously well connected Ken, famous anthropologist, ex director of the Sundance festival and Los Angeles libraries.
Crispin, Ben and Katie finished the Maine stay with some regrettable over- consumption.😬Read more

Day 35
ME - Harpswell and Pott's Point
September 28, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
Oh, how much would I love to have a drone to see this area from above.

Driving down Harpswell Neck peninsula and the bridge-linked islands, the landscape is ruggedly beautiful and unspoiled.

On the map it looks like Harpswell is a set of jagged teeth taking a bite out of the Atlantic and Casco Bay. Most of the forty plus islands in the Harpwell area are inaccessible but we did drive down to Bailey Island, Orr’s Island and Pott's Point.

It's just beautiful scenery with plenty of summer cottages and lobster boats scattered amongst the coves.

To get to Pott's Point Preserve at the end of the peninsula, we had to walk along a private road of secluded summer houses. So quiet and remote, one wonders if people are actually living there.Read more

Worked hard to find some space without lots of other people near Warren Falls with great success. Splashed around for a good while. Found a great sense of freedom in having our own car. The high hills and towns of Vermont were absolutely beautiful. A real sense of the enormity of America.Read more

Day 7
Ben's drinks party
July 29, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Enjoyed meeting Diane, the real estate agent who found Ben's house, her daughter Diane who has a motor boat and her husband, Mark, who has a vintage Maine dinghy. (What is Ben trying to engineer, I wonder?!) Also Pip and Mary, funky members of one of Maine's "four families" and Helen the antiques dealer, Stacey Coates who was excited by Mr Bingley, and Hattie and Hugh, media guru and Times DC correspondent with their frighteningly bright 6 year old twins - "how old are you? - "oh, maaan..".
Enjoyed making all the food and managing the drinks, generally pretending it was our house.Read more

Day 12
Eagle Island, then Potts Harbor
August 13, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 72 °F
We waited out the morning fog at Cliff Isl, then lifted anchor around 1:45 and headed out the Eastern side of the cove on our way to Eagle Island. We stopped there and were met —at our boat!! —by John, asst. ranger at the State Historic site of Adm. Matthew Peary’s home. He took us in to shore and we spent the next couple of hours exploring the home (built to resemble a ship, with portholes) and learning more about his discovery of the “geographic” North Pole (not the magnetic one which was found to be in a different place). It is a beautiful island, and I really think it will fit the bill for the one I want. 🤓 We also saw a nest of ospreys. I think the staff there is a little lonely, as they were each very talkative. But at any rate, they also allowed — David — yes, David— to sit and play the player piano that was on the ship the Roosevelt while they took their little jaunt up to the Arctic. I am sure that any day now the curator of the Smithsonian will come by there and will shut that little perk down, especially after they see that David was allowed to do it. The docent had the piano play Scott Joplin’s Maple Leaf Rag, lots of fun.

After leaving Eagle Island (there are no eagles there anymore, by the way) we sailed to Dolphin Marina, in Potts Harbor, on the Harpswell Neck (nearest city: Brunswick, Me). We have already made fast friends with Owen, Master Dockhand and bartender, and have met the marina owner and Sean and John, bartender and bar back , respectively. They have bikes and kayaks we can use, and areas to hike. Also, they have the “Reversing Falls,” which we have to check out. David already wants to stay an extra day.Read more

Day 17
Bailey Island Bridge, Boothbay Harbor
August 18, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 75 °F
We saw the Orr’s Isl-Bailey Isl cribstone bridge this morning and were suitably impressed before we turned and headed to Boothbay. (Built in 1927, the granite stones are held in place only by gravity. The openwork allows tides to flow through. It is the only bridge of its kind in the world, and is a Nat’l Hist Landmark and Nat’l Hist Civil Eng Landmark).

We had toyed with the idea of staying at Bailey Isl, but it was a very short hop from Potts Harbor, and no moorings were available for our boat length. We decided to make a push to get some distance in. We sailed around 20-25 miles today.

We headed out to the open seas, to 1-3’ swells, survived a crash of the navigation system (not a big deal, we have our paper charts), and argued over whether the display should show North Up (me) or Course Up (David). (I just took matters into my hands and changed it when he wasn’t looking, because we all know North Up is more sensible.) We also saw The Sisters (N43.44.60’ W069.43.60’), a few rocky outcroppings that must have the names Leigh, Cynde, and Lisa.

The closer we got to Booth Bay, the bigger the swells. We had our mainsail up for a while to see if that would help stabilize the boat, and it did, a little. Once the swells got bigger, to 4’ or so, it didn’t seem to help that much.

Fun things included seeing several seals and a couple of porpoises, one of which was only about 10’ from our boat. Then David threw up (not sure why, I’m the one who seems to be suffering from seasickness and is using the wristbands and Dramamine, but ok) but then he felt better.

Rain started during our last hour or two, but was never heavy. We are now snug at our mooring and warming up with a cup of tea.Read more
Traveler When we were there 27 years ago, (How time flies ) had some REALLY good salt water taffy in Boothsbay Harbor. Love your posts. Safe travels.

Day 16
The Goslings
August 17, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 64 °F
Yesterday we found out we have to wait ANOTHER!!! day until the computer chip comes in. Such a drag to have to cool our jets in such a beautiful place 😁 so we tried again to see the Reverse Falls (bad timing again) and then went to the Goslings for the afternoon. We made landfall (in the dinghy) on East Gosling, hiked around the part that is now accessible (due to osprey nesting, half of the island is off limits), and David did some (futile) fishing. It is a very tiny island, and there were three tents set up. So it felt a little crowded.

We headed back to Potts Harbor around 5. We found we had to again go to Erica’s Seafood to have lobster, and met a couple from Tennessee who come for a week every summer and eat at Erica’s every night!!

We have made nice friends at this Marina, and will come back on our return trip.

And David wants me to add that he got his daily swim in!Read more
