Stuck in Islesford...

Well, it's foggy, and thundery, and rainy, and windy, and just plain nasty here at Islesford on Little Cranberry Island...

Which means y'all get a few preview pics from the cruise so far. Just because I'm bored and have internet access from the boat today.

Without further ado:

Finally, some decent sunsets. There weren't any notable sunsets during my 2 weeks.

I certainly did! Thanks, Nathan.

I would love to have heard those bagpipes in the fog.

I aim to please. Unfortunately, he had to pause to adjust something right when I started filming this little clip, but you get the idea, at least.

Tim: This is the boat I was talking about, from Rockland. He built it himself.

Wow, incredible photos Nathan. I'm not sure which one I like best, the shot from Pemetic Mountain or the one of your son "fishing." They are fantastic shots all around.

I hope the rest of your cruise is a scenic as the first part.

Thanks! Leaving the MDI area tomorrow: probably won't have internet again till home. Catch you on the other side!

sigh...

Boy do I miss MDI. (Many, many, many summers and a stint in the NPS for a year or so.)

The Pacific NW is stunning. Lots of islands and big mountains.
And great sailing, but I definitely have a soft spot in my heart (head) for Mount Desert.

Thanks for the pics!

P.S.
Did you get any popovers?
:-)

I applaud his decision to stop 3/4 of the way through the build and go cruising/piping. There's a man who has his priorities straight!
