Week 11 — Boat

_DS41789-Edit-1

Schooner in Penobscot Bay off the coast of Camden, ME

We spend our summers in Rockport, Maine, and there is never a lack of boats to admire in waters that provide some of the best cruising in the world.  Penobscot Bay, where this schooner was captured, offers perfect cruising grounds, with over 200 islands large and small, intriguing harbors, quaint fishing villages and stunning coastal towns and summer resorts.  We never tire exploring Maine’s extraordinary coastal beauty.

 

Week 50 … #48 Wild Card … Last Sail

Rockport Harbor, Maine.

As the summer season draws to a close, a few sailors have been enjoying some evening sails in our harbor.  Many of the larger sailboats have been coming into the docks, unloading and preparing their boats to be hauled out.  Soon, the harbor will only be speckled with mooring balls, like the Ralston one in the image, and a few lobster boats that remain throughout the winter.
