Goodbye Maine! (Part II)

Sharing the remainder of our Maine favorites!


Here's a shot of Guillemette smiling during a break from the 1000 foot climb on the "Around the Mountain" carriage road in Acadia.


A few of the many historic carriage road bridges.

Eagle Lake, Acadia National Park.

It was great to catch up with Bob, a friend from business school who was on his own adventure!

Seth has been passionately working on his boat-building skills!  Here he is with an early prototype.

The last leg of the race on our second day out with the Northeast Harbor IOD fleet was sailed in dense fog in Somes Sound.  No hiking out on an IOD! 

Lots of concentration on the part of our downwind driver!

Post race gathering.   A huge "thanks" to Steve for hooking us up with this fun group of sailors!

Litle Cranberry Island, just south of Mount Desert Island, is a beautiful anchorage and home to the Isleford Dock Restaurant, serving some of the best that we had in all of Maine!

Beautiful Hinckley Yachts everywhere we went!

An impromptu "family boat" planning session back in Southwest Harbor.  

Yummie afternoon snack of local blueberry pie a la mode.

Family boat kids-pedition back on Acadia's Gorham Mountain / Beehive Trail.  Fun climbing and scrambling for some spectacular views!

Back at sea, on the way to Eagle / Opechee Islands with Guillemette at the helm.  The wonders of photographic lens distortion have turned Saltair into a super yacht!

Eagle Island, yet another beautiful, deserted island to circumnavigate!  Very interesting colors and patterns in the rock formations.  

Departing Burnt Coat Harbor on Swan's Island, our final landfall in Maine.
