Four bays in four days
A break from boatbuilding, paddling the Maine coast with my friend Wayne.  Stayed again in Bremen on Muscongus Bay, and took a series of day trips totalling about sixty miles: in Muscongus Bay from Round Pond to Port Clyde and back; in Penobscot Bay from Tenants Harbor to the Muscle Ridge Islands and back via Whitehead light; out of Boothbay across Linekin Bay to the Hypocrites and Damariscove, across to the mouth of the Sheepscot River and back; and finally out of Portland in Casco Bay around Peaks, Long and Great Diamond Islands and back.  Beautiful scenery, nice weather and, relatively calm seas, lots of fun in the tide rips around some of the islands.


Pictures are from the third paddle: the life station on Damariscove--

--the lighthouse at the mouth of the Sheepscot River--


--and a nice little beach stop on the way back to Boothbay.
