One of our adventures last month was to take the Margaret Todd Schooner out of Bar Harbor. It is a 151 foot schooner and cruises Frenchman's Bay.
Arriving early, I picked the best seat in the house . . . or so I thought.
See that humongous sail? I was right under it and there was a terrific rainstorm the night before.
You guessed it. . . When the sail was hoisted I got a free shower. I should have taken my soap.

The water and skies were crystal clear.
If you are going to be in the area or want more information you can go here.
No, I don't work for them but it was an inexpensive, fun, little adventure.
If the heat holds on here I may become a stow away. I'm sure they could use a hard working Mema!

I was thinking about you today. I wondered where you have bee, but it looks like you have been right here. I don't know how I keep missing your posts.
ReplyDeleteWe vacationed in Bar Harbor in 2001, and I SO wanted to sail on this schooner. Each day I would see it out on the water... We stayed at the Holiday Inn Sunspree. Beautiful area of the US, but very different than the rest of the eastern seashore.
I hope you are having a wonderful summer! La
