For the first time
on this northern journey, Janet and I were seeing new things, like the
Cape Cod Canal pictured here. (7/13/03)
|
This sunset,
followed by an equally impressive full moon, made our passage from Block
Island to Kittery, Maine a wonderful trip.. (7/13/03)
|
We made it to
Maine. This is Pepperrell Cove in Kittery, Maine, just across the
harbor is New Hampshire.. (7/14/03)
|
Fog and poor
visibility plagued our all-day sail from Kittery to Casco Bay.
This picture was taken as we were entering Casco Bay with some of the
best visibility of the trip. We left Kittery barely being able to
see our bow. (7/15/03) |
As soon as we
entered Casco Bay, the fog left as quickly as it had arrived.
These are some of the lovely homes that appeared on Long Island.

If you love
lighthouses, and we do, then Maine has plenty to see. That's
Whitehead Light on the left and the light on Owl's Head Island on the
right -- both in Penobscot Bay. (7/18/03)

One of the best
things about cruising is running into old friends. Valkyrie, and
her crew, are friends from North Carolina shown here under full sail on
a clear Maine day. (7/19/03) |
Charbonneau and
Valkyrie rafted together in the protection of Seal Bay, Vinalhaven
Island. (7/20/03) |
Group shot of
the two crews: (L-R) Don, Yates, Greg, Blaine, Janet, and Nick (7/20/03)
|
Bailey peers out
from the cockpit and asks, "Why don't you take me to shore?"
(7/20/03) |
So we took him
(and Max) to shore. They really like climbing and then lounging
around on all the big rocks. (7/20/03) |
 
We last saw
Nick, Don's son, during our first year of cruising. He posed for us
inside the shark cage at Nauticus in Norfolk. Now, a few years
older, he points the way atop a rock in Seal Bay. (7/20/03)
|
The picture of
the day, however, goes to Yates shown here modeling the next big rage is
hair design: seaweed dreadlocks. There may be modeling in
his future. (7/20/03) |
Remember the
clear skies in the five previous photos. This is the same day
after the fog rolled in for our sail. (7/20/03) |
Just as quickly
as the fog covered us, it pulled away. Here is Bradbury Island being
magically unveiled. (7/20/03)
|
Sailing in the
fog wasn't for naught. We were sailing to Eaton's Lobster Pool and
Restaurant for dinner. Love those bibs! (7/20/03) |
While we were
eating dinner, the fog rolled back in again. Valkyrie led the way
to our final anchoring spot. (7/20/03) |
Max and Bailey
hanging out with a cool bear dressed in tropical clothing in Belfast,
Maine. They felt right at home with the sand around the bear's feet.
